Cold Cases: Case 5: The Sandown Clown
5/5/202628 min
Spring 1973, the Isle of Wight, and two young children have an truly weird encounter.
In marshland near Sandown Airport they meet a 7-foot creature with a yellow hat, three-fingered hands, and triangles for eyes.
He calls himself ‘All Colours Sam’. Was Sam an otherworldly visitor, or merely the product of a child’s imagination? And is there any connection to an epidemic of UFO sightings over the Isle of Wight at the same time?
The truth is out there - Danny, Ciaran and Evelyn investigate.

Ever invest in something that seemed incredible at first, but didn't live up to the hype? Like those five dollar roses at a gas station, or a secondhand piece of technology that breaks in the first ten minutes. Marketers know that feeling. We optimize for the numbers that look great, impressions, reach, and reacts. But when they don't show revenue, well, that's a not-so-great conversation with the CFO. LinkedIn has a word for that, bullspend. Now you can invest in what looks good to your CFO. LinkedIn Ads generates the highest ROAS of all major ad networks. You'll reach the right buyers, because you can target by company, industry, job title, and more. So cut the bullspend. Advertise on LinkedIn, the network that works for you. Spend two hundred and fifty dollars on your first campaign on LinkedIn Ads and get a two hundred and fifty credit for the next one. Just go to linkedin.com/broadcast. That's linkedin.com/broadcast.
