PLOT: In 1828, Dr Robert Knox, an eminent Edinburgh surgeon and scholar, needs fresh cadavers for research and teaching. He pays Irishmen William Burke and William Hare to provide him with corpses. They begin by supplying bodies from the graveyards but soon find creating corpses is much easier work.

140-CHARACTER MINI REVIEW: Comedic re-telling of famous grave-robbing tale has great cast and looks fantastic but sadly disappointing
