ITV Yorkshire, Granada & Tyne Tees
Twisted Tales was True North’s first pan-regional production for ITV Yorkshire, Granada Manchester and Tyne Tees. This six part series takes a quirky and irreverent look at the history of the north of England and was written and presented by charismatic historian Terry Deary, whose Horrible Histories series of books helped changed the face of children’s education.
Terry Deary’s investigative journey explores the myths surrounding key historical venues and events in the region, and uncovers the truth to these well-known legends. There are plenty of grave tales for Terry to dig up. Stepping back in time, Terry separates the facts from fiction and is joined by an array of comical characters in period costumes to help bring each story to life.
