Archibald Hall, The Monster Butler

Season 2, Episode 10,   Oct 17, 2022, 04:00 AM

Helen and Danni head to Scotland and beyond this week to learn all about The Monster Butler…Archibald Hall. Growing up, young Archibald (or Roy, as he liked to call himself) became obsessed with the glitz and glamour of the silver screen. He fell in love with it’s debonair leading men, and all the wealth they enjoyed… and so, he thought, why not me? Thus ensued a lifetime of crime, lies and ultimately… murder. Expect possibly one of the shittest robbers in British history, another EXCELLENT voice for Danni’s collection and a murder story that almost feels a bit Del Boy had it not been so sad.

Devils in The Dark contains graphic details of violence and murder, and is not intended for all audiences. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
