n Christmas Eve 1975, there were 74 guests at the Savoy Hotel, and at 5:30am Christmas morning, most of the occupants were sleeping, as one would expect. The Savoy was located on Darlinghurst Road, in the middle of Kings Cross. The building was small, totalling only 5 storeys tall, with a concrete or washed brick exterior and windows that swung out towards the street. There were no balconies, and tragically no fire exits. The building was packed into the surrounding area, sharing external walls with its neighbours, and housing a ‘dollar bargain’ store facing the street. The Savoy was known for not only short-term stays, but also played host to a select core of ‘guests’ who basically rented a room from the landlord for long term stays. One of those guests was Reginald Lyttle, a man who would not take his dry Christmas with the grace it deserved. Join Holly and Matthew as they look into the fire, the cause, and the case. Merry Christmas, everyone!
