Steve Punt turns private investigator, with a brand new series of weird cases.

1. A Very Strange Stash. Punt is called on to investigate a dead pensioner's secret stash of arms.

When 74 year old Kris Ruddjers died in 2010, he left behind a very bizarre legacy. The retired nurse anaesthetist had placed 13 trunks in storage supposedly containing household effects. But when the owners of the removals firm prised them open they discovered handguns, surveillance equipment and bomb making materials.

Ruddjers seemed to all intents and purposes just your average pensioner - but what was the reason behind his strange stash? For starters, Ruddjers was an alias... Punt embarks on a quest to find out more about an intriguing senior citizen.

Also in this series: the mysteries of the 1928 Charfield Rail Crash and the lost American colony of Roanoke.

Producer: Laurence Grissell.
