Season 2
Episodes
Murder
Historian Suzannah Lipscomb returns to look at more scandalous royal rumours, beginning with four suspected royal murder cases, spanning almost 1,000 years. Suzannah explores the infamous disappearance of the Princes in the Tower, the death of William the Conqueror's son and questions why a bloody murder was carried out in a Scottish royal palace.
Sex
Professor Suzannah Lipscomb looks into four sex scandals that dragged the reputations of certain historical royals through the gutter. She explores how rumours of sexual indiscretions were used to target a formidable medieval queen and still follow her centuries on. Plus, Suzannah seeks to find out if 13-year-old King James VI of Scotland was groomed by his 37-year-old uncle, Esme Stewart.
Witchcraft
Professor Suzannah Lipscomb looks into the long and complex connection between British royalty and witchcraft. She explores how Elizabeth I tried to predict the future and asked alchemists to find her the 'real' philosopher's stone. Suzannah also reveals how two British queens were accused of witchcraft, in part because one was believed to be related to a mermaid
Crime
Professor Suzannah Lipscomb delves deep into how, over centuries, members of the British royal family have been both the victims and the perpetrators of criminal acts. She explores how Henry VIII and his ministers managed to manipulate the law and convict two of his wives of treason, which led to their executions.
Affairs
Suzannah Lipscomb uncovers some historic royal affairs that shocked the public or were hidden away to avoid an outcry. She investigates how an affair between a royal prince and a famous actor shocked Georgian society and led to a barrage of negative press and 10 illegitimate children. She also learns how Queen Elizabeth I's stepfather would enter her bedroom semi-naked when she was aged just 13.

Storage Wars
Storage Wars follows professional buyers and their teams as they scour repossessed storage units in search of hidden treasure. Part gamblers, part detectives, these auction pros have found everything from coffins to the world's most valuable comic book collection, paying as little as ten dollars for items valued in the millions.
Each episode of Storage Wars follows a group of bidders as they get a quick peek inside the units, aided only by the beam of a flashlight. They then must assess on the spot if the unit is worth a bid and how high they will actually go to grasp the gold. The high-stakes fun begins as we see if the resulting buy is full of mostly trash... or true treasure.
