Oh So so great to be here. Give me random round of applause if you are from Leeds itself or very close by. Okay. I mean, there was like maybe half a second of,

I mean that's very cool that you've traveled, but we've come 24 hours. We came for 24 hours. And we are exhausted. So where are we from then? Brighton. Lots of people from Cheffield? I did see it. London. Do you know we're doing two shows there?

Whoops. Brutal to find out this way. Sucked in to get. I've started drinking early today. Now, one thing I always do at the start of the shows, and Matt loves it when I do this. Well, yeah. I say that because he had to remind me to do it when we were in Edinburgh a couple of nights ago, which was a very, very fun time.

Give me a round of applause if you've ever heard our podcast do go on before You know That is a relief. Okay, uh, yeah No, imagine if you just wanted this dark room all the way from London The amazing I give you a round of applause and don't be sure if you've never heard do go on ever before Looks like it's you But also the flare with which she goes. It was like this. Yes, that's great.

That's awesome. Thank you for obviously being a tag along, or just walking into a dark room. It's a weird gap between us and you. That felt good. It's a weird gap between us and you That felt good. She was finding it the mouth early. I wouldn't touch her hand. I don't want your hands. Yeah Sure, is this is this what you wanted to say is it we doing it yet? Yeah Is it, we're doing it yet? Yeah? Yeah, it was over there, was it? Yeah! I think I'm happy, I think I'm happy.

I'm not sure what it is. Matt did 10 push ups backstage before we came out. I don't know if there was 10. That was quite impressive. That was a private conversation, Dave. When you told me you did 10 push ups, that conversation was private. Well, for the people that haven't heard the show before, basically we do a report on a topic suggested by a listener,

and this week it is my turn to do a topic. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE So, hard not to find that, that joy hurtful. Um, give me a round of applause if you don't want it to be Jess on that doing the topic. No, hurtful. Um. No. Give me a round of applause if you don't want it to be Jess on that during the topic. No, don't. You know what, us either, too. No, you guys have more fun when you're

running in the other. Yeah, I don't. I feel like I've got nothing much to do here. Something about heading back to the green room. Doing a few more push ups. Just fucking. His form was excellent. I should say.

Slow, in control. It was... No! I mean, we do have this space on the stage. Maybe later his arms are a little bit tired, you know? Yeah, obviously very good for a podcast, still in a bit of quiet exercise. How about we all pretend, oh look he's going wow! Oh, 79?

106. All right, I can't count. I did have several people message me directly asking who was doing the report today. Like I don't feel they wanted it to be you. There was a certain subtext. Yeah. Because I won't buy tickets if it's two out of three. They wanted it to be you. There was a certain subtext. Yeah. Because I won't buy tickets if it's two out of three.

Okay, sorry, my report. We always start with a question to get us on to topic. I'm going to throw it over to Jess and Matt, and if they can't get it, then I'll throw it over to you lovely people. If we can't get it, we can't. We can't. All right, question. Which author? Alright, question. Which author?

Oh, okay. Okay. I like it. Okay. I'm a man that respects a comma. I mean, I can see your page now. So. Which author disappeared in December 19, 20, 20?

Oh, a sealed lady. You know, the one, Poirot, man. She was not an old lady at the time, I can tell you that. Which is now. I assume, if they found her, what's her name? Agatha? It is Agatha Christie. We did it. Another one for me.

Well done, Jess, did you have any idea that she just rented it on your page when you showed me a thing? So I stayed respectfully quiet. Thank you. Did she write these old people books when she was young? Well, I'm going to say she had a prolific life. I cannot wait to hear about it. Any, I get the Christy fans in the crowd today? You do? Yeah, I cannot wait to hear about any I get the Christie fans in the crowd today

Yeah, yeah You had no choice Mum made you right. Yeah, my made you watch it anyone I'm a big big fan of the Poirot series with David Souché. I imagine that he is your superstar here. And he suosh heads in. Yeah, come on! It's suoshin' tonight. That would make my life. David, David Sushay?

Okay, he's not here, all right. To put it in a context for people who don't know Agatha Christie, she's sort of like England's Shakespeare. I think that's right, yeah, I think that's right. It explained that so well. So she's one of the greatest mystery writers of all time, and she created one of the most intriguing real life mysteries. When in 1926 she disappeared. This is her story. Bum-baw. Oh, I've got to take, I mean, this kind of ruins the thing I'm building there, but it was this topping has been suggested by a few people. Edward McCann from Dublin.

No one? You're going to do it with everyone. Okay, yeah. Emma from Auckland. Did Emma make it over? Probably just as long a journey. Seabourde, our most prolific Icelandic listener. Seabourde, journey. Seabour, our most prolific Icelandic listener. Seabour in, it's Seabour here! I love this one. Chris Williams, who just wrote, I'm from the UK.

Chris? I really want someone to be in. There's someone in look. What? Me from Glasgow, who also suggested the Iron Brew topic I did in Scotland two months ago. Me. There you go. And Anastasia from Jersey City, New Jersey!

Are you in? Okay, very enough, there you go. So this is the life of Agatha Christie leading up to that mysterious, what's going to say, a mysterious experience. Agatha, Mary Clarissa Miller. Agatha? Well, I'm locked into saying that for the rest of the hour. Agatha, Mary Clarissa Miller was born on the 15th of September, 1890.

Thank you. How goes that accent? A good job. It's so much better than when we have Aussie's side. Yeah. Like we could talk like out anyway, yeah. I was being genuine, Jess. No. Me too.

You're a mean spirited person. She was born in Turkey in Devon in a comfortably well-off middle class family. Her father, Frederick Miller, was a wealthy New York-born stockbroker. Her mother was the British-born Clara Miller. She was the youngest of three siblings. She was mostly homeschooled by her parents, although her mother had a weird thing where she decided that Agatha shouldn't be allowed to read until she was eight years old. Okay. I wonder why eight. I don't know what happens at eight. You can suddenly...

Have I told this story on the podcast? You could read till you were eight. I still can't read. A friend that I went to, I've found out I knew in school. He got married and had a few kids and he's fit, oh, he won't, oh, he won't listen. Is he into mother? His first child was called Eleanor.

And I was asking if they call her like Ellie or anything. He goes, no, no, no. We won't call her Ellie until she's five. We want her to know her real name. They've had two more children since, like, they shouldn't breed, but um, because I somehow, I must have been a child genius, because I figured out that my name was Jessica. I just figured it out somehow, but Illinois. Your name's Jessica. Yeah. That's cool.

Yeah. Well, Agatha was also a very clever child. She ignored her mother and taught herself to read by the age of five. Do you think it's because all the books in their house were porn, not till you're right? No. Something that's a good rule. I think that's a good rule.

No porn to you, right? Yeah. Yeah, I agree. At least. At least. Yeah. Kids this. I think that's a good rule. No point to you, right? Yeah, I agree. At least. At least. Yeah. Kids this. I'm so sorry. Getting into porn too early.

Personal experience? I'd rather not say that. Oh, OK. Despite this weird rule, weird rule. Agatha described her childhood as very happy, and she thought herself lucky to have a wise and patient nanny named Marie. She also had a pet dog called George Washington. Yes, I met a dog the other day called Bill Murray. I just like dogs with full names.

Awesome. Yeah. Was George Washington any relation to the president of America? Great grandchild. That is fascinating. I'm never having a real proper education, and you mainly two, Bortom. Agatha found herself making up stories and acting out the different parts. There's nothing like Bortom to make you right,

she would later say. Her father not well since the advent of financial difficulties died after a series of heart attacks when Agatha was 11. Okay. Oh. It's just heartless. One of you was correct.

She describes this as the end of her childhood as the family went through financial strain. David Sushay, your rock star. The actor who played Quiro in the TV series speculates that that may be the reason that in over half of her novels money is the motive for murder. Her mother, Clara, was just... Am spoilers. Oh, sorry, sorry, there's a lot of murder. In her murder mysteries.

What do you believe it? Her mother was distraught over her husband's death and Agatha became her mother's closest companion. So fuck you to the other two children. Agatha studied for a time in Agatha, studied for a time in Paris and was a gifted pianist as a teenager. What? No pianist till you're eight. Sorry about that. Well, I love this. Agatha Christie's website, her official website, now claims she would have

been a professional, but her extreme shyness in front of strangers prevented this from happening. Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit. Oh, I could, I just, I don't like attention. I could have, yeah. I could have won like seven Academy Awards if I could act. Just that one little hurdle.

Can I believe it? Is that a quote from David Sushay? Yeah. Can you believe he's never won an Academy Award? Yeah. Can you believe it? Robbed. No. Yes. Sorry. It's too genuine an Academy Award. And you believe it. Robbed. No.

Yes. Sorry. It's too genuine. Too genuine. Too real. Her mother-clar was health demanded that they move to a warmer climate. And for three months, they lived in Cairo as you too.

During her time there, now age 20, she went to lots of parties and wore lots of evening dresses. Again, quite from Acatacrystice website. Apparently, she was a bit of a hit and she met lots of other British expats and knocked back five marriage proposals. Yep. Been there. How many, what's the marriage proposal count up to now?

Eight. Wow. Yeah, no marriage to your right. I mean, the rule, it's a very versatile rule. Next one, I'm going to do it. So she's knocking back marriage proposals left right and centre. That wasn't till a young hot shot pilot named Archie Christie came into her life in 1912. They met at a dance.

The Kirtchip, Kortchip was a whirlwind affair, both were desperate to marry but had no money of their own. It's good when you're both desperate, isn't it? Yeah. That's when romance really flies. I need this. I need this to work. I mean, I didn't even have to act that. So, that was a direct quote for my own life. So, as this, he was a very attractive man. See, a lot of myself in this man. Who her mother didn't warn her to marry as she didn't think he treated her properly and was worried

that he was attractive to women and a bit of a player. Sadly, her mother was very right. As we were later discovered. You should always marry an ego. Mark it down, it's a rule! You did look right into my eyes, I was just sad there. You'll be fine, Matt. No, I good on you. According to Christie's autobiography, it was quote the excitement of the stranger that

attracted them both. The strangers when you sit on your hand. LAUGHTER I feel like you guys know with that. I don't have to elaborate any further. Come on. I know that all too well. I know. I know that too, mate.

I'm petty myself as the learning today. I know, but when I start to pity you, you've gone too far. Yeah. I need this. I know, but when I start to pity you, you've gone too far. I need this. I need this! Talking about my own hand. Nice to meet you. And then what do you do? A few push-ups.

Getting his own. Being a pilot in 1914, Archie went to fight in World War One. He was in the Air Force and convinced he was going to die. They got married in secret whilst he was on leave. They met infrequently during the war years and it wasn't until January 1918 when Archie was posted to the war office in London that Akitha felt her married life truly began. Right.

Okay. What a blinding idea of like long distance marriage, you know? Like getting married and not seeing them for four years. Perfect. I mean, you work out if you want to be with them, buddy, don't you? Makes the heart grow stronger, founder, whatever. Whilst he was away, she volunteered as a nurse at a hospital in Torquay. Often quite gruesome, it really shocked the upper class young lady.

It was during the First World War that Agatha turned to writing her detective stories. She was at least partly inspired by her Agatha turned to writing her detective stories. She was at least partly inspired by her sister, Match, who bet her that, no, it's funny. It's funny. Match and Agatha. Beautiful names you have over here. Ah, Match. Match and Agatha.

Match. Match, bet Agatha! Imagine. Imagine Bet Agatha that she couldn't write a good detective story. What a... Supportive! I hope Mads should felt like a fucking idiot. For the rest of her life, you'd be like... Yeah. That copped that, Mads.

Mads. Suck the image. Why didn't Mads dare to become a piano player, huh? Because she wasn't good enough, that's why. We didn't know the truth. This is all happening whilst Christy was working at the hospital, where she came into contact with Belgian refugees and this inspired her to create the world's most famous

detective, a Mr. Hercule Poirot ever heard of him. Fair enough. How about David Sushay? Oh! Oh, Sushay! He's a rock star here. He's such a rock star. I reckon they'd be a favorite here with Sushay Tatooza.

I reckon. And he... Hold on the back. Hold his big face. We have been talking about getting Tattoo on this tour and Matt suggested that we do get matching for our O-Theme tattoos. Yeah.

And, honestly. I remember saying this real well. Yeah. What else is, gone? What else? I'm not adversely idea. One of us gets the Sushay mustache, another one gets inspected jab. Hey, things.

I mean, Jesse's was really keen on the idea. I've never seen it. Oh, yeah, and I'm the other guy. What's the other guy? I'll be that guy. This is a great... Great. Is it great?

Okay, yeah. Gregory Hastings. Arthur Hastings, that's... So close. Shit, I've already... It's too late, but I've already got it. Greg. Gregory. And Bolt, so...

This is the word, Gregory. Gregory. Check out my borrowed tattoo, it says Gregory. Well, I'm still open to the idea. So all this is happening as she's been being held in refugees and she crets her kielpuro during the war. He debuted on her pages in 1916 in a novel

that she called the mysterious affair at styles. It was as novels often are rejected several times, but eventually it was published in 1920. So it took four years. Yeah, it took a bit of time. Wow. The book set up many of the tropes she would be famous for. It was set at, again, spoilers if you don't like hearing the tropes. It was set at a wealthy country house with many possible suspects. A murder by Poisony. Stop looking at his lips.

Stop looking at his lips. 50% of the murders in her books are by Poison. She developed her fascination with Poisons during her time at a dispensary drink. As a snake. She lived her mid-20s as a snake and... She lived her mid-20s as a snake and uh... She got a knowledge of Poisons by training as a pharmacy assistant and that gave her a bit of the inside scoop for the rest of her running days. So that's the war. Archie came back. This is the hot shot. The Dave Wanakie of the story, if you will. He came home at the... I will not.

Matt, will you? I need this. Uh-huh. He came back at the end of the war and took up a job in London where they had just enough money to rent a flat. Later that year, on the 5th of August, Agatha gave birth to their only daughter, Rosalund. Rosalund. Better than match.

It's a little bit better than match. I was also at this time that the mysterious affair at Stiles with Pwara was taken on by a Rosalind. Rosalind, better than match. It's a little bit better than match. I was also this time that the mysterious affair at Stiles with Pira was taken on by a publisher who also contracted her to write five more books. So what's all happening now? In 1922, leaving Rosalind with her nurse and her mother, she and Archie traveled across the British Empire promoting the Empire exhibition of 1924. In Cape Town, South Africa, she became one of the first Europeans to learn to surf standing up.

I guess before that it was you guys call it boogie boarding here? I heard a definite no. But it also an enthusiastic yeah, so I think she's being polite. On one of their many surf beaches over here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the lead surf like? Strong. Strong. She may have been the first female Briton

to achieve the feat of standing up while surfing. All I'm hearing about here is, na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na. And you're imagining the old woman that we all know I can't see her? Yeah. All I'm hearing about who this is, nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn 25 Christiana family left London for Sunningdale where they lived in a house named Stiles after a first novel. She also got a first car and everything was going great. She changed publishing deals and continued to write and in the novel the merger, also murder. Of Roger Acroid, she was the first writer to have the murderer be the narrator of the

book. I feel like things are going a little too well for her. Hell yeah. She was at the top of her game and always headed the curb and it came to the crime genre. Everything was going a little too well. I just called that. So I wasn't paying attention. Money was now coming in with a young daughter and husband and all seem to be going swimmingly for Agatha right here.

Okay. Or surfingly. Didn't write that, don't worry. Don't worry. Thank God. In a autobiography she writes, quote, the next year in my life is one that I hate recalling. So often in life when one thing goes wrong, everything goes wrong. Is that a threat? Do not let one thing go wrong because it's all going wrong. I'll just do that anytime you need to sip. Oh please I mean but

really make let me get to the keychain. It makes drinking beer way more exciting. It's a more extreme. It's not hard to see why Christy dislikes the next year in our life. First of all, our husband Archie, who did turn out to be a massive player, started carrying on with Golpha and friend of the family Nancy Neal. I love this line from AgathaCristy.com. Archie was a keen golfer. Agatha, not. That really makes it seem like it's her fault. Well, if you'd been into golf. This is the same you that Agatha's mother Clara died, and she was devastated by the loss.

There's two hits already. Agatha was in charge of clearing out a childhood house where she grew up, and she was doing this one day when Archie turned up And announced that he was having an affair with Nancy Neal and that he wanted a divorce For Agatha this was all too much What a dog What an absolute dog George Washington Sorry, I zoned out for a bit. Are we talking about George Washington in the game?

What a dog for a bit. Are we talking about George Washington? What's he doing? Oh, he's doing little flips. That's cool. He's surfing. We just had a sip. On Friday, December 3rd, 1926, Agatha Christie got up from her armchair and went into a sleeping daughter's room and kissed the now-septone-year-old Rosalind goodbye. Oh, one more year to pawn. Hang in there Rosalind! We all remember our first porn. Tell us about yours. Oh, waka waka waka waka waka. Look, I had a crack there, but... I mean, waka waka waka. Was yours?

That was me trying to do porn surf music. Yeah. Huh? That did translate? That was great. Thank you. Waka, waka, waka. What are you doing with your hand? Playing them slapin' some m'dick.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Cool. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. That is regretful. You've got the... You've got one of the lowest voices of anyone I know, and even when you play your dick, it sounds like a bass guitar. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. I thought he was traveling with his bass guitar.

Tends out those noises we can hear from his room at very different. Oh, I wish he had a room out there tonight. Sorry. Oh, I was like, oh, he's just listening to the red-up chili peppers again. Oh, no! No! No! When you feel the funk, Dave. No!

When you feel the funk, Dave. Alright, so she kissed Rosalind Goodbye, that she climbed into her Morris Cowley car and drove off into the night. She was reported missing by her family the next morning. A bit eager, she could just popped out for milk. Got a weight a certain amount of time don't you? How long would you wait? Wait, who's going missing?

Because it's a different answer for each person. I can look for a... A week? Yeah. I haven't seen anybody seen eggs. I'd call color eggs. You call them, call up, match. Anyway, I didn't take police along to locate her car several miles away, abandoned in a remote

location called Newlands Corner. There was no evidence of the car having been involved in an accident. Her coat and driver's license were on the back seat, but Christie was nowhere to be seen. Police were immediately worried and a disappearance with Spark, one of the largest man hunts ever mounted. I think the Christie was already a famous rider at this time, and more than 1,000 policemen were assigned to the case, along with hundreds of civilians. A thousand policemen. Yeah. That's all of them.

I mean, it would have been a great time to commit a crime. All the cops. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, all the cops. 300 men with dogs also search for her. That's right. Yeah, okay, great.

And it was the first search. So the 300 and one. We'd have to shoot one of the dogs. Oh. I'm sorry. 300. Great. Proceed. Don't worry, it was 300 exactly. That's because they shot a couple of the dogs.

Sorry. I was also the first search to use airplanes. Oh, how? Two airplanes. I didn't say how many. So how did they use them? Looking out the window. Oh, yeah.

She's not down there. Oh, that could be her! Oh, that's an Ann. Oh, I'm not even off the ground yet. I haven't been in a plane before. Look at that! That guy's about to lose his shit, where that plane takes off.

Oh, where'd that ant go? Now we got two missing people. Some people claim that 15,000 people came out to look for it. No matter how many it was, it was a massive search. Police were worried that she may have fallen down one of the many gravel pits in the area and that she may have been lying at the bottom of one of them, hurt and helpless. Police also expressed concern

that she'd been the victim of serious crime. Tax fraud. It's serious, yes. No, no. It was front page news across the UK and when she didn't turn up for over a week. Ah, thank you. It was front page news all over the and when she didn't turn up for over a week. Ah, thank you. It was front page news all over the world, including the New York Times.

It's two hours for you. Oh, thanks you. Thanks you. Do I understand what, what's the context of that? I see you. If you were missing. Oh, great. Oh, that's great. Thanks, mate. Yeah, you're going to be there.

Six months. If you were missing. Oh, great. Oh, that's great. Thanks, mate. Six months. I'm going to do a search out. David Sushay, about one minute. Look, I've actually also got an app open here

that tracks his movements. He said, Harrod's right now doing quite well for himself. Anyway, it's front news all over the world. Dave, if you're tracking him on your device, how is he going missing? Well, that's how he avoids. If he disappears off this for one minute, I will have to leave. I'm sorry. Does he know about the tracking?

Oh, no. It's safer for him if he doesn't know. Have you used the trucking to meet him in person or are you doing it to avoid meeting him? No, I've never met him. Sure. Well, I've seen him, but he hasn't seen me. How did you put the, where is the tracker in his moustache? Yeah.

It's in his butt, isn't it? One of you was correct. It's in his butt, isn't it? One of you is correct. And he doesn't have a real mustache. Does he have a real butt? Oh yeah. Okay. Oh yeah.

Does he have a hair? Oh hell yeah. Anyway, it seemed to be as good a mystery as she could ever write, except that it was happening in real life. Every day the stories, what could have happened to her, got crazier and crazier, with a press speculating wildly. Apparently, close to where the car was found was a natural spring known as the Silent Pool, where two young children were reputed to have died. Some journalist ventured to suggest that the novelist may have deliberately drowned herself there.

Use papers often offered a large 100-pound reward for anyone that spotted her and this inspired more people to go on the hunt. To everyone's looking for Ag. With a book selling well in the fact that she was a household named by this point, outwardly it looked like she was on top of the world. If she had chosen to disappear, people couldn't work her why. There were rumors that she'd been murdered by her husband Archie, who some people now talking to the press were saying was a serial cheater, and he was known to have the mistress Nancy Neal, the

golf player. The UK's home secretary, William... William, Johnson. One more time. William, Johnson Hicks. I can only assume he's from New Joysy. I can only assume that. Johnson. It's Johnson with a Y. Love it. Johnson.

What's that right? You read it out like you've never read it before, but you wrote this. William, Johnson. Okay. So he's a big deal. He's a home secretary in the U.K. He's freaking out because no one can tell you what he's doing. He's a big deal. He's a home secretary in the UK. He's freaking out because no one can find it. It's looking bad for him. So he

urged the police to make faster progress in fighting her as it did not look good for the police her being missing for so long. History extra recalls that two of Britain's most famous crime writers, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, and Dorothy Al Sayers, author of the Lord Peter Wimsey series, were both drawn into the search as experts. Their specialist knowledge it was hoped would find the missing writer. The experts in writing. I know. Have you tried looking for her in a library?

Or a cafe with Wi-Fi. I tips his hat and leaves. What a hero. Give space to Anakin, how many? No. So Arthur Conan Dole's been employed. If you've heard my report on Sherlock Holmes, you'll remember that one of Arthur Conan Dole's specialist skills was cult stuff concerning the afterlife.

After his son died in the war he went a little bit strange and believed in fairies as well as many other supernatural things. He went a little bit strange. I'm being polite. I'm gonna put that on my tombstone. That. She went a little bit strange. Could you say it in a way that's less polite? What are you trying to say? He lost it big time. Basically, he tried to use paranormal powers to solve the mystery of where Haggitla Christy was. Okay, well I didn't see anybody else coming up with any ideas.

He took one of Christy's gloves to a famous medium hoping that it would give answers when a normal police work and failed. It didn't. So any theories at this point from you guys? Moll people. Interesting. Interesting. Obviously. Not any theories, just to...

Yeah, I reckon she's just looking for inspiration for a book. She's... Just needs to get away. Yeah, but she's also like... I reckon she's just... Yeah, did she end up turning this into a... not boat a car or was some sort of big story? Night boat tocaro?

That's one of hers, isn't it? Nightboat. I know. What's a nightboat? I think it's a madness song, sorry. What's that? She's got a caro boat as well. Any thought about that?

Death boat ocaro. Death boat ocaro. Listen up. Well, on December 14th, 1926, she turned up. How long have she been missing? She's been away for a couple of weeks. OK, it was just a nice getaway. She was alive.

We let people know we were leaving Australia. Yeah. Yeah, we got some calls to make. Just don't mind Matt for a minute. Can you message my mum in there as well? Yes. She was alive and well at the Swan Hydro. Now the old Swan Hotel in Harrogate, or Harrogate, just 16 miles from where we are right now. Ah, few harry heads in. Ah, there's a Harrogate in the front row. Have you been to the old Swan Hotel?

Probably got very good, Dave. He's basically David Sukai or whatever. Did you know the connection when you went there? So I imagine none of this is impressing you so far. Yeah, yeah. Wow, okay, he's pretty honest this guy. We love that. So it is just 16 miles or 25 km from where we are right now. Thank you for converting that.

Which is why I chose this as a topic. Because we're so close and we can go to that hotel. No, absolutely not. Right, well, 16 miles I'm walking after this. So she's turned up, but more questions were raised, however, as Christy herself was unable to provide any clues as to what had happened to her. She apparently remembered nothing.

OK. Police seem to come to the conclusion that Agatha Christ Christie had left home and traveled to London, crashing and then abandon her car on route. So she's driving to London, but crashed on the way. She then somehow, still in mystery, traveled the 30 miles to King's Cross station in London

where she boarded a train to Harrogate. On arriving at the spa town, she checked into the Swan Hydro on December 4th with almost no luggage. One of the strangest things is that she checked in under the assumed name of Theresa Neal, which is the surname of her husband's mistress. Oh, oh. I mean, that would be the name that would be on you mind a lot, probably.

Yeah, and she also claimed that she was from South Africa. Did she do an accent? Because that's not okay. And if she did, I think it would sound a little something. I like this. Hello, I think it was a little something. I like this. Hello, I'm Tori Samay. No, Tori Samay, that's a different one. Hello.

Hello. Fuck. Did you guys know the truth about your prime minister? Ask for a birth certificate, so I'm saying. I'm a true stuff. Teresa True's though. I don't know what arrogance like these days, but apparently it was the heart of elegance in the 1920s. Is it still like that?

People are laughing. It was quite the place to be for young wealthy types. In Agatha did nothing to arouse suspicion as she joined in with all the bowls, dancers, and the entertainment. You got to hide and play and sign at the ball. She wasn't recognized, which might seem strange because she's such a famous person. Yeah, but she was doing the accent. Yeah.

Which sounded a little something, like this. How's it? I'm Teresa Neal. Not bad. I like... I like the ball. That's good stuff. Matt, what would it sound like if she was like...

What was there too? I like the ball. What would it sound like if she had some sort of like diplomatic immunity? Oh, yeah, that would have been the one to go for. Ha! Alright, stop laughing. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! I have diplomatic immunity. My name is Theresa whatever you said before. And it's weird that she was carrying guns with her to this ball as well, but I'm again, that would have sounded a bit like... Oh, it's so realistic. Oh, that was just me clearing my mouth. Oh wow! That was the gun.

He is good. The man of a thousand noises. The first time is clapping. That must be fucking bizarre to you. I don't even get it. You love balls. That is very funny and deserved more to be honest, but... I would just love balls.

Fucking hell. That's good. Do we get that? We get that on tape? I'm just a bald. Fucking hell. That's good. Do we get that? We get that on tape. Two thumbs up. Thank you. Next day.

It's weird that she might not be recognized, but she was being a writer. She was a house on there, but people didn't necessarily know what she looked like. She could blend in a little bit. Eventually she was recognized by one of the- Much like being a podcaster. Yeah. Hide in plain sight, you know? Except I walk around going, oh, I'm just fucking.

And they go, please stop yelling at me, madam. I'm a podcaster. People say, what does that mean? Yeah, mostly my grandma. This episode is brought to you by Progressive.

Thanks a lot, Grandma. 94 years old. Eventually, Agatha was recognized by one of the hotel's banjo players. Bob Tappen. The banjo. Which ones that again? What does a banjo sound like one's that again? What does a banjo sound like?

I think it might sound a little something. I like this. No, actually, because there's multiple banjos, I think it would be good if we could hear dueling banjos. Yeah. Oh, all from me. Yeah. Was that it?

But ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. Oh yes. Ba da da da da da da da da da da da da da. Ba da da da da da da da da. Ooh. I lost control of that light. What? Fantastic. They're patients for that bit is running out if you wanna just...

Yeah, I'll pop the brakes on it now sorry oh will I so the banjo player recognises he tipped off her husband oh he taught police and they tipped off her husband Colonel Christie Christie who came to collect agatha immediately respectively Bob the banjo player didn't go to the press and claim the 100 pound reward which would have created a media store Bob the banjo player didn't go to the press and claim the 100 pound reward which would have created a media store. Bob the Benjo player. Yes. Can he pluck it? But should he?

Look, I'm... Every now and then I'll say something and you guys will sigh and that's okay. He's out again, I'll let go, isn't he? Well, so he didn't sell it out to the, but the press got wind of the story anyway. The media rush her arrive to get photos of her living the hotel, and this hit the front pages again around the world. Amazingly, Christy left her cheating husband waiting in a badass move when the cheater arrived. She kept him waiting in the hotel lounge

while she decided to change into an evening dress. Yes. Badass. Ah, so there's some theories. Over the years, there's been a lot of theories as to what caused and exactly happened during this 11-day disappearance. Archie claimed that his wife was suffering from amnesia and had no recollection of the events. Some speculated that she did it to publicize her books and boost some sales. Well, any public is good publicity, I guess. And because of this, many were furious at the funds and

resources that were wasted on the search in their eyes. Another theory was that perhaps she did it for a revenge against her cheating husband. Perhaps she disappeared hoping that eventually he would be arrested for her murder. And even when she reappeared, perhaps this would be sufficiently enough to tarnish his image at the long run. And in a book, she's a criminal mastermind, so why wouldn't she be one in real life? Others have speculated that she suffered a concussion like brain injury in the car crash, and then had no idea what she was doing, but probably the most common theory other than the publicity stunt is that her disappearance was the side effect of some sort of mental breakdown. According to her biographer, Andrew Norman,

the novelist may well have been in what is known as a fugue state, or more technically a psychogenic trans. It's a rare condition brought on by trauma or depression, and in this case the death of a mother and the breakdown of her marriage may have caused her to not realize what she was doing during that period. Norman says the adoption of a new personality, Theresa Neiel and her failure to recognize herself in the newspapers, were signs that she had fallen into psychogenic amnesia. There's also speculation that it was an aborted suicide attempt. In 1934, Christy wrote unfinished portrait, a semi-autobiographical novel under the her pen name, Mary Westmacott. In this book, a character called-

You can pick any name! West Macott in this book a character called you can pick any name I know in this book a character called Celia attempts suicide and Christie writes It was wicked of her to even consider taking her own life a lot of people have said that's her writing about this Incident but throughout the rest of her life I got the herself never publicly discussed the disappearance and apparently never spoke of this time with her family or friends Okay She all right. She also barely mentioned the incident in an autobiography never spoke of this time with a family or friends. Okay. She's all right.

She also barely mentioned the incident in an autobiography. Despite it being one of the most famous weeks of her life, she just wrote down how she hated notoriety of any kind and that the press was so unbearable, she found it hard to go on living at that time. And that's the only mention of this incident in her autobiography. So what, she gets back in the car and they're driving her home.

They're like, what happened? She's like, yeah. We're not talking about it. Where have you been? Oh, oh, it's like a like an angsty teenager. We're all talking about it. That was me as a teenager. And an adult. That was me as a teenager and an adult But you'll be pleased to hear guys that she bounced back She made a quick recovery both health and career-wise and continued on writing Agatha and Archie remained apart and finally accepting her marriage was over in 1928 they divorced and Archie married his mistress

Good One of Agatha's lifelong ambitions had been to travel on the Orient Express. Okay, the Nightboat. Sakura. Nightboat trained. The Nabor trained a Georgia anyway. And she took her first journey in 1928 after her marriage broke down. It was at an archaeological site in Er in Mesopotamia, which is modern-day Iraq, that she met the 25-year-old archaeologist in training after her married broke down. It was at an archaeological site in Er in Mesopotamia,

which is modern-day Iraq, that she met the 25-year-old archaeologist in training Max Mellaman, who was to become her second husband. How old is she at this point? She's about 36, 37. Cool. She's made him up.

Uh, Max Mellaman. LAUGHTER Well, you can only, you can only make up. Yeah, this is it. Max. Wow, you can only make a laugh. Yeah, this is it. Max. Yeah, Max. Malabman. Malabman.

Malabman. Malabman. Oh, Malabman. Malabman. Malabman. Malabman. Malabman. Malabman.

Malabman. Malabman. Malabman. Max was asked to show Agatha around the archaeological sites, which he found fascinating, and they found each other's company relaxing. They married in 1930, and by this time she had already written a dozen books. Her second world famous character, Miss Marple, also debuted in that year in a novel called Murder at the Vicarage. Vicarage. Vicarage. Oh, it's a fun word.

It is nice. Vicarage. Vicarage. Vicarage. Vicarage. Vicarage. That's vicarage. They just say it nice, like normal people. Vicarage.

That's them. That's what you sound like to us. Oh, Vicarage. Well, how do we say it? Ah, Vicarage. We really are the we say it? Ah, Vicarage. We really are the worst. Yeah, we're the worst. We suck.

With the ability to see the worst in everyone, she based her, this is like the Christie Basin, Miss Marple on her own grandmother. I feel like it is the worst in everyone. Yeah. Or brutal. Come that, Grant. That's not a good, that's not a trait you want. Who's lovely waiter, probably a pedophile?

I guess I... You know who doesn't see the worst in everyone? Mr. David Sushay. What a kind soul. Where is he? Checking in. He's just doing a bit more shopping. He knows Oxford Street in London.

Primark, bit below his taste, I thought. Alright, takes all sorts. How many times did you go to Primark in the two days we were in London? See this shirt? It's Primark! It was like we'd be kind of near it. He's like, oh, we need a prime arc. I'll be. So a prime arc and that what's that? Patamongja or something?

Patamongja. He loves that joint. I love Patamongja. Do you guys have any lead? Part of Moncha? Greg's is better! Greg's is better! Greg hates it! Greg hates it! You'd love my Gregory tattoo! Greg's is better! Greg's is better! We went to a Greg's in Edinburgh! Big fan of Greg's is better. We went to a Greg's in Edinburgh. Woohoo!

Big fan of Greg's. Yeah! I mean, there is definitely one person leading that. Are you related to Greg? I love Greg! Yeah. And the people are with you. That's the best.

At least other things you like. So, Greg's is genuinely popular All right, no lovers of pret then Pretties for losers Well, I guess you can call me a loser baby because I love pret. I also love grapes I did not want to lose the crowd over pret I did not want to lose the crowd over Pratt. It's not worth it. Oh, not be worth it.

That was the best. Greg's had a great fruit salad. Have you had a Greg's fruit salad? I fucked up. Cheese beans and sausage mouth. Yeah, you guys really know how to do food. Do you guys want me to bring up the Greg's manual and just go through it? Give us a thumbs up or a thumbs down.

It's all thumbs up. Who goes for a salad? A man that's struggling to shit. Okay. There you go. Thank you. Thank you, thank you. Jess has left.

So, have lost Jess. Sorry, I had to get so real mo. Did it help? I'm sharing your bathroom with him. Did it help? The answer is, is there anything great conflict? Go ahead, can I use your bathroom? Nothing makes me shit more than Greggs. Greggs!

We're nearly here for the end of Agatha's report. So she marries Max and he's an archaeologist. And he became the big influence on her writing, the exotic location that she visited with him, like Egypt, Mesopotamia, and then stuff like the Aranxpress became locations in her books. And this really set her apart from her contemporaries yet again. She mentioned other places. Everything else was set at Greg's office.

As a rule, I wrote two or three books a year, and when with Max, I wrote a chapter or two during quiet mornings, and then helped him out on the archaeological digs in the afternoon. Oh, take a look, love that. Yeah, the real palco. How a couple, love it. Yeah, support each other. Similar to their kind of like England's very own posh and backs. I was trying to think of a more what's that you know the woman and the guy

from recently. I was going for them and I ended up the woman and the guy. Harry and Megan. Harry and Megan thank you. I'm out of the man and the woman. I mean you're not wrong technically. But you're quite far from rice. Once from suits and once from the palace. What is Star Cross lovers? Did that make the news here as big down in Australia? She has got that here, you got that? No.

So World War II broke out in Agatha again, volunteered. It was during this World War II that she became a grandmother when her daughter Rosalind gave birth to her son, or a son, Matthew. By 1950, after the war, a beautiful name. Oh. Love those English names. Match. Map.

Oh no. We're not so different when I match. Did you only just figure out that your name is Matthew? Okay. I wasn't allowed to know that until I was 102. By 1950, I already sold 50 million books and started to slow down her output. I say slow down, but her play the Maustrat opened in the West End in 1952, and has been running ever since, becoming easily the longest running play of all time, with over 26,000

performances. It hasn't finished yet. I haven't found the killer. It's also a great board game. Maustrat? Yeah. It is. Yeah. I haven't found the killer. So I saw a great board game. Mass trap? Yeah. It is.

Yeah. That's what I said. Yeah, no. I agree. Yeah. We should finish this come by later. Yeah. According to the official Mass

trap website during the 66 year game or the. They share a website. Could you believe that? It's very confusing. No, during the 66 year runold game or the They share a website. Could you believe that it's very confusing no during a 66 year run the play There have been no fewer than 474 actors and actresses appearing in the play 279 understudies and 142 miles of shirt that has been ironed for the plucky how many big silver bowls big silver balls. That was a little niche bit there but the ones who liked it really liked it. My favorite kind of applause is a smattering so thank you so much. Nothing better because the

thing I love about a smattering is it takes as much effort for the people not to clap as it does for those two clap. They're just ignoring it. Nah. Sylvaboles, all right. It's good stuff, you'll get it later. Yeah, it's a thinker. Ageth is a lot... Okay, bye man. Agatha's last public appearance was at the opening night of the 1974 film version of Moida.

Moida on the Iron Express star and Albert Finney as Hercule Poirot, her verdict, a good adaptation with the minor point that Poirot's moustaches weren't luxurious enough. You know whose moust is all luxurious enough. David Sushay nailed it. Oh, my goodness, down. He's got an egg-shaped head exactly like she described. What? Perfect casting.

Just let you think about that. The final novel published in her last time had, in fact, been written many decades earlier. It was called Curtin Po Puyro's last case. Christy wrote the novel in the early 1940s during the Second World War, partly fearing for her own survival and partly wanting to have a fitting end for Puyro's series of novels. Christy had the novel locked away in a bank vault for over 30 years, knowing that she could no longer write any novels, the elderly Christy authorised curtains are removal from the vault and subsequently its publication in 1975. Can you imagine who are re-reading it though? After 30 years.

You've forgotten it a little bit? No, she would have forgotten it and also been like, this is trash. If I looked at something I wrote 30 years ago, it wouldn't exist. Alright Matt, if you looked at something you'd written 30 years ago... It would have been, oh I've had another great grandchild. Um... Is it, I reckon if I put it in a vault and got it out and went... Really? Curtin? You told me about something about...

...something you'd written. Curtin? What happened? Like, Curtin's was taken? Sounds stupid. Yeah. Yep. Well, I can tell you, it sees the old duo of Guaro and Hastings team up for the last time, meeting again at Styles, where they'd first appeared together 50 years earlier in their first novel.

She wrote the novel at the height of her powers, and for decades knew how the series was within. Her powers. Oh, she was a witch. Oh, that's the height of her powers. It's a very evil novel. She died peacefully the next year on the 12th of January 1976 at the age of 85. She is buried in the churchyard of St Mary's near Wallingford. And finally, just a bit about her legacy.

According to the Guinness World Records, she's the world's best-selling fiction writer with her 78 crime novels having sold an estimated... 78. 78. Two more. Right, two more. Or stop three ago. Well, they have sold an estimated two billion copies

in 44 languages. Dave, can I just quickly do my impersonation of the character from Guarro called, what's the call of the Sokiks Gregory's name again? Captain Hastings. Does anyone know that show with David Suckett? I've been working on this because I've been Dave got I watched the first season I really like it I love this I love Gregory

heaps and and I'm not fucking around I reckon this is exactly what he sounds like right what's his surname again? Hastings Hastings Hastings I say. That is great. If you knew the source, that is great. I say. Nailed it. Time to clap again. It didn't deserve it. Hey, whoa. They let them clap.

You know you're a... Let clap as B. Little smattering there. I got two smatterings back to back. I said. And I love Greg! Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah! My final sentence is, her books continue to so well in her royalties are estimated to be in the millions every year, so good on her one grandchild, Matthew. She is outsold only by the Bible and William Shakespeare. What a life! Ag of the Christie! Thank you so much. Let's all do it. Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalal That is impressive. That's very good. Oh, but that pretty much leads brings us to the end of the podcast. Thank you so much for being here. I say. I say. Good Lord.

My grandma, Benigny Foyerot, actually says that. Good Lord. She surprised me. My parents told her that they were going to rush her for a holiday. And her response was, good Lord.

Again, Lockhe has been falsely accused of a crime and plural has to again, save the day. Yeah, I was going to say Lockhe marts the main character in this. Yeah. Yeah. Again, Lockhe has been falsely accused of a crime and pooro has to again save the down point. Yeah, I was going to say Lockhe definitely hasn't done anything here, but people think he has. Yeah, so he's under Lockhe and Key.

Yes. So they think he did it until another murder occurs when he's locked up and they're like, well, maybe it kind of been him. Is it a copycat? Yeah. And it turns out it is Lockhe did do the key. He did the first one. He paid someone to do another one to make it look. But a copycat? Yeah. And it turns out it is, Loki did do the kill. He did the first one. He paints on to do another one to make it look.

But the copycat actually gets busted for both. Yeah. Loki's that good. He is. And then he's released and he's still out there. Yeah. Hang on. No Dave, we're in the UK, it's OK.
