Drunk Women Solving Crime

350 Kate Lawler & Shirley: Crime Fighting Duo

Season 2, Ep. 350
What a DAY we had at Drunk Women HQ, when not only did the fabulous presenter and DJ, Kate Lawler rock up, ready to solve a crime or two, but she brought her K9 accomplice, Shirley, who really found her voice during the recording - someone give that dog her own show! Before the team settled down to sort out what happened to a notorious socialite of the 1960s, Kate told us about a crime-addled trip to Spain just after she won Big Brother back in 2002 - and once again, the British Tabloid press should hang their heads in shame - Shirley was NOT impressed.Finally in this week's listener crime, we learn that the real crime is the price of a three wick scented candle, surely nothing you're supposed to set on fire should cost £360? If you have a listener crime that only Taylor, Hannah, their guest, and possibly a dog can solve, send them in to drunkwomensolvingcrime@gmail.com
