    • The Exciting Hellebore Shew: Robot Shew

    * Catch the nail-bomber.

    * Kerb Crawling in the 22nd centuary, interrupted with an actual act of wandering around.

    * A high-brow link, interupted as the robot thing attempts to eat Dan’s notes as revenge for disconnection. On radio… nobody can hear you cry (except the engineer)
