It's Christmas Eve at St Mary's
And all through the house
Nothing is stirring...
Except for Max, Peterson and Markham, sneaking out at midnight for an assignment that is very definitely off the books.
It's ten years ago tonight that Senior Historians Bashford and Grey went missing in 12th century Jerusalem. So how did they end up in AD60 Roman Colchester?
Max has a theory. Peterson has a plan. Markham has bacon sandwiches. Colchester has Boudicca and her bloodthirsty Iceni hordes.
And then there's the giant pig ... the enraged, giant pig...
