Now Playing: Desire - For this, the eighth episode of The Butchers Apron, we uncover an incomplete history of hysteria, the invention of the vibrator and the discovery of female sexuality with Dr Rachel Maines (and five slightly tipsy women at a dinner party), we unearth a story of longing, good and evil in the Highgate cemetery with David Farrant and Bishop Sean Manchester, rounding up as usual over a drink with our resident philosopher, Dr Daniel Barnes.
