Our Urban Myths are stories that have been passed down over time and have now become part of urban folklore. But are they true? We take a slightly tongue in cheek, mischievous – and deliberately ambiguous – look at what might have happened...

Urban Myths Audience Reviews

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

jjr-76474 This is a brilliant piece of television. I became a fan from episode one featuring bob dylan and an english suburbs plumber. It is well directed superlatively acted and, most of all, deliciously written. It will take your face on an exercise class of smiles, laughs, giggles, and hilarity bursts; your co-trainees: cary grant, bob geldorf, conan doyle, marilyn monroe, johnny cash, david bowie and many more... My personal favorite: Public enemy feat kev wells. Go for it i promise you'll enjoy it.
