Want to make a quick bit of cash? All you need to do is convince a few respected doctors that a woman is giving birth to bits of animals. This week on That Time When, Barnaby talks about the tale of Mary Toft, a woman who was, for a while, believed to have given birth to rabbits. Barnaby also apologises for the fact that the truth behind this story gets pretty dark, which is an odd take for a podcast that professes to be comic as well as historical. Oh well, enjoy!
