When a man in their Edinburgh boarding house dies, poor Irish immigrants Burke (Derren Nesbitt) and Hare (Glynn Edwards) discover they can make good money by supplying corpses for scientific study to a doctor at the university medical school. Inconvenienced by the lack of available cadavers, the cunning pair soon turn to murder to maintain their revenue stream
They should not have been hanged. Their victims were nothing but dregs of society. Yet thanks to Burke and Hare medical research in Scotland boomed.

Cheers Greenwood. I have been looking for this for a long time. There is nothing us Paddies love more than a bit of body snatching, serial killing ,a piss up finished by a spot of fisticuffs.Brilliant.

QUESTION: Is it Yutte Stensgaard whose body falls out of the cupboard at about 7:11? If not, what happened to her?
