Riddle-me-ree
Chris unravels the riddle with the aid of a really old library book left by the Saucy Saxons.
After tracking the narrative of the maze through history, Chris turns to the word maze that is the riddle. With the help of Anglo-Saxon specialist Dr Katie Lowe and access to the Exeter Riddle book he explores the way language and its rich supply of ambiguity has provoked playfulness from the Thebans to the people conjuring up riddles for Christmas crackers.
