It's a medical-history-mystery: the Sweating Sickness. Things get clammy as Anthony Delaney and Maddy Pelling ask what was this deadly disease? What happened when Anne Boleyn got it? And why were sufferers sewn into their bedsheets?
Edited by Nick Thomson. Produced by Freddy Chick. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
