About this episode

In the late 1960s, there were few better places to enjoy a night out in Glasgow than the Barrowland Ballroom. 

At weekends, as many as 2000 would cram into the venue to dance away the night. 

Among them, was one of the UK's most notorious mysoginistic murderers, whose true identity remains to this day, Unexplained. 

This episode was written by Emma Dibdin and Richard MacLean Smith.
