1968 - the summer of love, youth unrest in Paris, London, Chicago, Falkirk… wait, Falkirk? Well, it was hardly major rioting but the letters page of the local paper was ablaze about underage sex and drugs - something had to be done! Dr Charlie Lynch of Glasgow University tells us about Falkirk’s moral panic as the permissive society reached the Forth Valley. But we’ve a stranger darker story to tell from the 1880s - when a ruthless manipulative conman and abuser turned up in Dundee. Brother Alphonse was a fake monk. Yes, that was indeed a way to make a living. But he also had a ghastly secret. Dr Hannah Telling of the Institute of Historical research uncovers an uncannily modern can of worms.
