Uncanny is a 2021 BBC Radio series created by Danny Robins featuring explorations of the paranormal and supernatural phenomena. The series is broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and as a podcast on BBC Sounds.

Based on the best-selling children's books and liberally splattered with guts, blood and poo, a group of British comedians offer an anarchic and unconventional take on some of history's most gruesome and funny moments, with topics including the Stone Age, the Middle Ages, the Egyptians and the Romans, among others.

A bored young mum steps through a portal and discovers a world of incompetent knights, monks who are incapable of lying, and a race of people intent on firing the cleverest amongst them into the sun.
