ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Cricket: Qin Dynasty China ft. Caroline McEvoy

Qin Dynasty China, 212 BCE.

Climbing into the time travel machine otherwise known as the Hen & Hound, award-winning comedian Caroline McEvoy steps foot in Qin Dynasty China.

She’s been set a mission to solve the case of the falsely accused road builder. She is armed with only a lucky cricket called Dinky, 'passable' Mandarin and some speculative tai chi moves.

Ahead of her lie confrontations with local toughs, surly old women, tigers, lakeside dates and even perhaps an audience with the emperor himself.

Will her martial art moves be recognised as legitimate? Will she tame the tigers of ancient China?

All will be revealed.

Featuring: Caroline McEvoy — award-winning comedian
