The Lair of the White Worm

Listen if you dare as Diggory and Oscar discuss Hugh's performance in the 1988 Thriller/Horror 'The Lair of the White Worm'.  After young archaeologist Angus Flint (played by Peter Capaldi) discovers a large and inexplicable skull, strange things start happening in the rural English countryside.  Could this skull belong to the D'Ampton Worm, a mythical beast supposedly slain generations ago by the ancestor of the current Lord D'Ampton (played by Hugh Grant)? Find out the answer to that question, and whether we've been Taking Hugh for Granted, right here.
