Knight and the Beast

About this episode

Today we have another original story written by Daniel Hinds, inspired by English Folklore. Lord Percy Crescar of Barnburgh is a fancy knight, who for most of his knighthood has been more concerned with his clothes and his castle than with actually fighting any battles. Unfortunately for him a problem turns up in his kingdom that he can't just have someone else deal with.
