Wyrd Folk

In this episode, Sam and Nikki look at the classic Welsh myth of Blodeuwedd, the maid of the flowers, who was brought forth by magic to be the perfect wife. But what are the implications of creating a woman out of flowers? And is Blodeuwedd really to blame for trying to free herself from a marriage she never agreed to?
