Urban Myths (TV series)

Urban Myths is a British comedy television series that presents fictionalized and humorous accounts of apocryphal stories and urban legends about historical and cultural figures. Each episode typically presents a self-contained story, often featuring well-known actors portraying the subjects of the myths.

The series is known for its satirical and irreverent approach, taking creative liberties with established narratives and exploring the humorous potential of unlikely scenarios.

Instead, it leans into the absurdity and entertainment value of the stories it portrays.

The show has faced criticism for some of its casting choices and depictions of real-life individuals. Despite this, Urban Myths has maintained a dedicated viewership and continues to explore a wide range of rumored encounters and bizarre events surrounding famous figures. The show's format allows for diverse narratives, spanning different eras and cultural contexts.
