LeeGood evening and welcome to Aura. I'm Lee.

ChrisI'm Chris.

AdamI'm Adam.

LeeAnd we are here with an exclusive as promised to a new radio play which is not yet available but will be available on the 6th of October, I believe.

ChrisYes.

AdamYes.

Lee6th of October. so we are here to discuss the Chronicles of Cyanide Jones. this is a radio play which is part of Baron Sword doors theater of the doomed.

Leea show that I know Adam's a massive fan of. I've been listening too and and have been for a while and falls very much into that. It is it is a I'll let Adam take over because this is more his forte than mine.

LeeBut what I like particularly about it is I love old time radio and I love all those really old like the Hermit's Cave and the Witch's Tale and the Price of Fear and those like old radio plays.

Leeand what Baron Sword door does is basically that but a a mod it's it it keeps that same feel but it's got a very modern edge to it as well which I really like.

LeeSo like it's not it isn't like a nostalgic look back at that stuff. It's the sort of the the evolution of it which I think is fantastic.

AdamYeah, it's it's taking it's taking those principles but applying them now where it's that sort of it's the sort of it's the hybrid of a full cast drama but there is a there's commonly a narrative voice and obviously Baron Sword door is very much in the tradition of radio horror hosts like the various man in blacks that we've had in England over the years and again it's just one of those like you say there were there was stuff like Price of Fear and things like that where they would be you have your presenter and then they'll give you a a like a sort of usually I mean actually I mean the the theater theater of the doomed usually tends to be quite long form.

LeeWhich I really like because that was that was the only thing that that I I not dislike but the thing with some of the older ones which I do love but they are very episodic and they cram them down into like 25 minutes so quite often they'll take a a longer story and then kind of crush it down to a much shorter version effectively.

LeeSo you'll get like a a truncated version of a story that you really like and it's still great and it's so atmospheric on the radio. but yeah you do you do do to listen to these on natural radio like years ago.

ChrisDo you both listen to listen to these on natural radio like years ago?

LeeOh god no these were like from the 30s up to the 60s I think the heyday of that sort of

Chrisokay.

AdamYeah. I I actually used to listen there was a show I used to listen to called Fear on Four which was at at which was the the the version of it at the time which was the BBC's one which was when Edward de Souza was the man in black and that was that was a follow on from but that was in the tradition of there was the man in black which was originally played by Valentine Dial and that stretched back to like the sort of 50s over here.

AdamBut yeah these are they're they're ones that you can hear repeated. I mean actually Radio Four Extra you get a lot you get a lot of early sort of radio serials on their stuff from the 40s, 50s, 60s right the way up to the present day and but similarly these were things where people had taped them or they'd be released as sort of like recordings.

AdamI mean often often on cassette or vinyl or whatever like that. And also there there was a great tradition where I think a lot of people were you got a lot of home tapers so a lot of this stuff especially when the when the internet really sort of started kick when when it became feasible to actually stream or at least you know download you know within you know a few minutes rather than a couple of days.

LeeThere's a there's a great website called Relic Radio. If you go to relicradio.com there's a guy there and he puts them out so he does mulk so he does like a thriller one and a horror one and a sci-fi one and he takes all those old radios that are old archived versions and cleans them up and releases them and that's how I kind of got into it because I as we'll discuss later.

LeeSo my first introduction to the idea of the old radio plays was through a a movie called Haunted Honeymoon with Jane Wilder and he plays an old radio actor where they used to do these plays and it was one of those so when this came out when that film came out I was eight years old and it was one of those obviously I didn't know the internet was coming so I was like this is a thing that I've missed and I will never get to experience and I was gutted about it.

LeeSo when the internet became a thing and years later I discovered Relic Radio and all this old stuff has been taken out of the archive and cleaned up and reproduced.

LeeIt's so lovely and there's something so warming and lovely about just sitting back and listening to these old shows. You know now they've all been cleaned up and they are fantastic.

LeeIt's it's they're just this something so not nostalgic because obviously I don't have nostalgia for things that happened long before I was born but they are really nice and really good fun to listen to and they're really atmospheric and they really draw you in.

LeeIt it's brilliant.

AdamIt always reminds me because there's I I can't remember is it there might be like a Tom and Jerry where he's listening to an old like horror radio yeah thing and he's just like terrified that and again it's one of those things like you say you feel that you missed and then through sort of various means and everything you might have come across more people might have been repeating them on the radio or stuff like that or like I say with Fear on Four it was kind of its modern iteration and I'm sitting there like taping it onto C60s to like

Adambecause I couldn't do it on a C90 because then you'd have to split an episode and you might miss the most important bit. So you know and then you discover a and then you discover a 120 and like it's like man from heaven.

AdamSo but I think also that because I mean coming back to Baron Sword door I mean the good thing is is that obviously when it's when these things were done for radio they were given a time slot whereas obviously these are podcasts so they can

Adamyeah much much in the same sort of freedom that there's been with stuff like Black Mirror on stream they don't necessarily have to do a two hour one. They can do 45 minutes.

AdamThey could do two hours or whatever like that.

ChrisWhatever fits in the best

AdamSimilarly you know it it frees it up in that sort of sense you know I think it and I mean certainly so sort of giving the background on it so it's the brainchild of Aaron Harvey who very kindly reached out to us and said look I don't know if you're interested I've got a new series coming up of Theater of the Doomed and I was like well I I listened to Theater of the Doomed anyway this is like you know fantastic and also

ChrisSo how how did you come across it originally?

AdamWell the weirdest thing is so on basically I first became aware of Aaron Harvey's work. He works under the sort of umbrella title of Blood, Brains and Aliens and literally I started following him on Instagram and Welcome to Horror Instagram follows him as well just because he's really fucking funny and it would just be some of the best like sort of horror memes and things like that just I I think I put I put it in the group chat but like a couple of years ago he put up the one on Halloween which was every every time every time someone complains that Michael Myers isn't in Halloween Three Tom Atkins takes a shot and bangs their mom.

AdamAnd it's like yeah one of my favorite memes of all time is got to be Yeah exactly and it was like and you know so it it was that it was that that was just like it's funny anyway and then obviously on there it's so I mean he's like he's a writer as well like an author and written short stories and written novels and actually Chronicles of Cyanide Jones is based on his book The End of Everything We Know and so that's and that's actually the subtitle of so it's the full is the Chronicles of Cyanide Jones The End of Everything The End of Everything We Know and so and that was about that would have been sort of tail end of 2023 I think they put up the first the first one which was the broadcast.

AdamListened to that and really enjoyed it and like I say it's something that I I enjoy like I've always enjoyed like radio plays and stuff like that. I 've always enjoyed the radio and it was just so such good quality not just in terms of the writing or anything else like that but like the production is professional and that is speaking as a man who has sat giggling into a tape recorder.

AdamYou know I I I I I appreciate when someone's doing like

ChrisThey're putting some serious work yeah.

AdamThese these these these are broadcastable. They're not in any way you know they don't they they don't come across as amateurish or like the sorry that's probably the wrong term but they don't they don't come across as something you know they are polished they are

ChrisYeah.

LeeThey are

Adaman actual product that is out there and the fact that you're getting them for free is quite fucking shocking really because you know this it does feel like something you could charge for.

AdamI mean much in the same way as like the the guys with Broken Veil where the subsequent series have only been available for a Patreon. I can sort of see you know it would be a similar sort of thing you know because I think that this

LeeIt's a lot of people

AdamI mean they they are as you say they are polished. They're really well written. The first one I found was the Satanic Rites of Ashley Ives.

Leenow that's one I haven't listened to but I've

AdamOh dude you are going to love it. Brilliant it's so I listened to it. I can't remember whether it was because you'd posted or if it was one of those things that just kind of appeared on my feed or something I might be interested in.

LeeI wonder if I've mentioned it on I think I might have mentioned it back when it like when we were doing like a we have been watching or something like that.

AdamYeah.

LeeI think I may have mentioned it back like when it first appeared like after the after the first story the broadcast. I think I might have done it then.

AdamYeah.

AdamYeah so so it took me a while but yeah once I picked up and I got that I I had a long drive for work so I queued up a load of the episodes and put them on.

Adamoh yeah and it was great. It was brilliant. It was it was the it was what I loved about the old time radio but it didn't have the crackle and the hiss and the and it was and it sounded beautiful.

LeeYeah.

AdamIt sounded sound scapey and it had depth to it. yeah and the story

LeeLike like here the

AdamYeah yeah just fantastic so immersive.

LeeCuz I mean it's the it's the classic thing when you listen to the old radio ones you have to make allowances for the for the production sometimes and things like that but no I mean and and that's that's the point is it's it's in that vein but it's it's it's now it's not sort of it doesn't it's it's not doing that thing that you occasionally get cuz I think that would be a very weird way to go to be honest but it doesn't do that thing that you get with some cinema where it's like oh we want to do an old 70s movie so we're going to go for that aesthetic

AdamYeah yeah.

Leeof trying to make it look like you like it was made then.

AdamYeah.

LeeYou know and down to pops and crackles and sort of bits and pieces and stuff like that. So it doesn't it it doesn't doesn't fall into that sort of it doesn't fall into that sort of category or anything like that sort of idea.

LeeAnd I think also that it's cuz I listen to a lot of I listen to a lot of there's like a sort of basically there was a when it wasn't on air there was a massive offshoot of Doctor Who that was like my people doing like a company that does original radio radio play versions of Doctor Who with company called Big Finish.

LeeAnd the one thing that they because they're they're sort of stuck by how the like to what the format of Doctor Who was they cannot have a narrator.

AdamAnd it does unfortunately mean I mean they they not to do them down because they've been going for yonks and it's incredible stuff and again sounds amazing. You know it's done very professionally but they can't you know occasionally it has to be oh that that person's pulling out a gun.

AdamYou know which which is really awkward but it's something that if you've got when you've have a narrator doing it you don't you you know you it's partially telling you the story and then people voices come in as the various characters and stuff like that but there's it it tends to be that there will be an overall a voice who is you know either a character or an omniscient narrator who is presenting the play.

LeeI think that makes a big difference. I mean it I know it it it not to say that it takes away from it but that is the thing with some of those old radio plays that don't have the narrator yet is the people speaking a very unnatural way because they have to describe to you what's happening because you can't see it.

Chrislike

LeeYeah whereas whereas the Baron Sword door stuff because it does have a narrator the majority of the time it it like it it it allows for that and it it does create a much better more rounded experience because

AdamIt give it gives you a better picture of it and it and it takes away from especially something like horror where horror can be I mean that's the things that that that it conjures really well in the mind's eye.

LeeYeah.

AdamYou know whereas I think that sort of like I say it is sometimes you do get that thing where it 's like something like horror it's got to be quite visceral but you know unless someone's sitting there going oh my bowels are coming out you know it's that's someone's just going to scream aren't they but at least with this you can have someone scream and there's like yeah he was disemboweled you know or whatever but yeah you don't have that sort of awkwardness as it were.

LeeYeah it must be a very hard thing to put together to tell a story without an narrator that yeah that that does explain it all without it feeling odd or awkward or or unrealistic which is why this new one so the Chronicles of Cyanide Jones obviously is a a single narrator from what we've heard.

AdamYeah.

LeeSo we've heard the first two episodes so far.

AdamYeah.

Leeand it it it's it's like must be said so it's a cyberpunk story which I love. I absolutely love cyberpunk so so having a cyberpunk radio play is fantastic for me.

Leeand it it does it cuz it is it something that it's a bit like reading where you have to do an element of the work but you make it exactly how you want it in your mind from the information you're given.

Leeso it so it it can become so much more perfect for you than seeing something because it is just described and you do half the work which is awesome because yeah it it is your personal preference at the end of the

ChrisThe one thing that really stood out I I do like the a lot of the words and the sci-fi concept they've used in this It felt very much like yeah this is someone who has read a lot and watched a lot and yeah really knows what they're talking about.

AdamI did I did spot one Terminator reference in there in the

AdamSo that was a little little Easter egg but but and I I think importantly it's oddly enough I think that as a genre cyberpunk Noir is something that's kind of become a tradition in a way you know that sort of like seems to be a way of I mean obviously you've got presidents like Blade Runner and stuff like that but I think that

Adamthose sort of film Noir usually has narration or like has a you know or it's like the sort of or the the books that they're based on like the sort of dime crime novels and stuff like that you know are all sort of very you have like the cynical voice of your private eye or in this case your human resources.

AdamIt's a lovely a lovely set of

Adamsort of choices like euphemistic terms that you

ChrisThey are yeah.

AdamSo and I mean I mean you know cards on the table obviously we don't want to spoil anything in terms of what's happening. I mean I think the first the first episode is certainly very well building and then then you start get then it starts getting into in the second episode you start getting right we're getting into the story now we're getting into right what's happening which I am seriously looking forward to.

AdamAnd so you've got it's Christian Schmidt who is a regular sort of crew for Baron Sword door who you you may remember was Todd Landers in Neighbors and also he was Adam in the 90s version of the Tomorrow People which is kind of a bit more prescient for this but yeah.

AdamAnd but which you don't hear at all in this hard boiled

Adambut yeah and and I mean but he is like I say and he's like a regular of the sort of there's a sort of small but

Adamreally a a small but useful rep company that you have. And and obviously again one of the things with radios you can have people doubling up voices, you can have people doing alternate parts and stuff like that.

AdamSo again you don't necessarily need to have it you could have a cast of 20 but with 10 people or whatever you know and I think but I I find that certainly I've I've always found that the Theater of the Doomed stuff I mean I so obviously I listened to the broadcast.

AdamThere's the Key Party Massacre which is like it's it's like a sort of Laurel Canyon psychotic madness that then goes absolutely ape shit. And and I think it's there's and actually there's one there's the Medusa Syndrome which is like a sort of space opera thing but again it's a such a lovely concept is that it's sci-fi but 80s sci-fi.

AdamSo everything in terms of what they're describing and the aesthetics and things like that are all how the 80s saw the future. So you've still got computers the size of rooms yeah and things like that you know it's it's like sort of

Leeyeah

AdamI mean the I love that. I much prefer how the 80s saw the future to be to how things have actually like if if the iPhone looked like how someone in the 80s had imagined an iPhone would look I I would have one.

LeeYeah.

AdamAnd that's the thing is I think it's but yeah I mean but and then but coming back to Cyanide Jones again I think he's building a really interesting world.

Chrisyeah.

AdamYou know it's and you've got that sort of William Gibson sort of thing in there as well and but I mean like again trying to sort of like avoid spoiling stuff but I I love the sort of concept of well I mean I I love and also fear the concepts of it of you know what what has led the world to be the place that it is in that in in so much as you're just like all right so you just read the news okay.

LeeAnd extrapolate where it's definitely going.

AdamMassive corporations have fucked everything and now they're now they've said but we'll now they've said don't worry we'll help for a price.

LeeYeah.

AdamAs long as you're willing to do everything that we want you to do you know we'll

LeeThe world that they've built is very very believable really. It's got that kind of V for Vendetta feel of like just looking at what's going on and taking it to the nth degree.

AdamYeah typically

LeeBut not not beyond like not to a sci-fi level but actually to a a believable degree which

AdamYeah.

Leejust roots it in realism and and just makes it that much more believable really.

AdamYeah like the like the best dystopias is always like all right that's that is next week.

LeeYeah.

AdamIt we just you sort of like a couple of disasters away from this.

ChrisI mean it's it's funny like it reminded me of a game I used to play many years ago which is all about augmenting, upgrading yourself and it's

Chrisback then when that game came out it was like I cannot wait for that future. Oh it'd be amazing. But now that we're on the cusp of it I'm like might not be quite so good now.

LeeNo cuz cuz you can get you can get a great update and you can can have things done to your body somebody's still going to be stealing that data and using it to advertise nonsense to you and

ChrisYeah.

AdamYeah it's a it very actually very it's similar similar to Transmetropolitan Warren Ellis No yeah Warren Ellis's comic where they've even got things like

Adamsubliminal advertising but it goes off as a bomb in your dreams. So you know you you you wake up and it 's like hang on I've just been I've just been told to buy new shoes and drink this drink okay right okay.

LeeBut and then and even like things like Ready Player One as well where you know you've got oh you've got this amazing utopia

AdamYeah.

LeeBut and then and then you've got some dick in the background going actually we can put 70% of the screens can be adverts without giving people you know

ChrisAnd the corporation Yeah. How can we monetize this at yeah that's the key.

AdamI mean that's the that's the thing is is that you're always going to be at the mercy of terrible opportunists.

LeeYeah.

Adamand and I actually really like the fact that obviously it's got that 2000 AD Judge Dredd thing where Sinyo Jones is not he's not a hero in the proper sense you know he is working for the bastards but also it's he's not quite as terrible a bastard as some of the bastards and it'll be interesting to see what the development is and in in actual fact I'm glad that I've not I'm glad I've not read the book because it does mean that I'm just going to be hearing this unfold I think I think it's going to I think I think it's where's I did jot it down I think I think it's yeah 14 parts and obviously this is much more digestible in the sort of half hour 35 minute burst

ChrisYeah I I thought that was perfect length

AdamYeah.

LeeYeah.

ChrisYeah.

AdamCuz cuz the cuz the other stuff is quite long form and occasionally they'll do like two parters but you the the average running time is just about two hours.

LeeYeah.

AdamWhich is fine for telling that story but I think something like the you could not stitch this together as a you know potentially seven hour thing because I think it would be too wearing especially especially if it's like where where it's cuz this seems to be more of a single narrator there are other voices in there but a lot of it is through Sinyo Jones so

LeeAnd they do fit in a lot of detail like there's a lot of content coming through it's I I suppose that sci-fi you know there's a lot of concepts for you to to follow

AdamYeah and I I do like the fact that it doesn't overly explain a lot of it either a lot of it is it gives you enough that you understand it but it doesn't spoon feed it to you so again so again it gives your your imagination

ChrisYeah yeah.

ChrisYeah.

Adamscope to to build it however you want it as a listener which is just it makes it so much more enjoyable for me and yeah Oh no and I think I mean actually I mean this is yeah as soon as it was like you know like I say Aaron reached out said you want to review the thing and it was like yeah new theater of the doom that would be good and it was like oh it's it's a bit different it's cyber noir a cyberpunk noir and I was like yeah yeah I'm definitely still in you know

Adamand and I mean obviously he so there there's it it's produced basically Aaron's doing everything in these things so he's the writer he's the director he's the producer doing the sound design much the same as on the other theater of the doom there's also Natalie Harvey and Christian Smith are producers on this one but the other thing that I really like is I love the soundtrack because it's very synth-y it's very and again we're back to that sort of thing of no there is an aesthetic to cyberpunk

LeeYeah.

Adamand cyberpunk in a weird way cyberpunk is as much like we were saying about the 80s future of the Medusa syndrome where it's like oh well that this is what the future was going to be like from about 1985

LeeYeah.

AdamAnd similarly this is yeah this is the future but this is the future from roughly about 1990 you know that's that's sort of the cyberpunk sweet spot and so the the synth stuff on here is very John Carpenter it's very well it was sort of synth wave obviously was pretty much came from that anyway but so you've got the music is by needle in your eye a fictitious band and and you can buy the album in fact that's the one thing I would say is Aaron please make this stuff available on Bandcamp.

LeeOh yeah I was just thinking the same I would love

AdamCuz I don't cuz I don't have Spotify so and then and I would I really I'd buy these but I don't have Apple I don't have Apple music and I don't have Spotify but I would get the soundtrack to this in a fucking heartbeat off of Bandcamp and excuse me it's it's here the future is here and it's choking me so so the soundtrack album is from the streets of New Chechnya which is where we are heading to at the end of the second episode

LeeYeah.

Adamand and again it's that whole thing of you've moved into the future and I love that it's just such a that is a very original thing where it's yes global warming has occurred but the polar caps melting has obviously drowned significant parts of the planet but has also revealed pristine farming land so you know there's if if you can afford it you can move north and till the land there or whatever like that and I just thought thought that's just such a sort of again just a a nice little sort of touch that I don't think I've seen in anything else you know

ChrisYeah yeah.

LeeYeah yeah. It's that attention to detail isn't it it's it's the the world that we're in has been so well thought out in every detail it hasn't just it's not just all right we're in the future everything's neon and it's all shiny and the streets are dark and the tower blocks are ridiculous like the the actual the effects that it would have on humanity have all been thought out and are all a part of the story it it's it's fantastic it's really really

AdamYeah. It's that and that's the thing is you can tell that everything's been so thought out and that's why you can have that sort of drip fed backstory

LeeYeah.

Adamwhere it's like yeah that makes sense because you know that at the heart of it it makes it makes sense so you sort of put in hints or oh and that connects to that you know and sort of so on and so forth and it's yeah I think it's just

LeeYeah yeah.

Adamyeah it's I'm I'm like I say I would recommend to I'd recommend to our listeners to listen to Theater of the Doomed anyway because I think they would find a lot of cool stuff there and it is proper horror and there's I think I I saw I saw it in I saw an interview where Aaron was talking about it's kind of you know he's in that John Carpenter sweet spot you know it's like it's horror but it's also sci-fi and it's yeah and yeah for want of a better word bit 80s but

LeeYeah it it is but it also

Adamno way a bad thing when you're talking about horror

LeeNo definitely and again it it avoids that just playing on nostalgia and nothing else it it's got so much more depth to it than that but as you say it's that

AdamYeah.

Leemental aesthetic which yeah which is absolutely my wheelhouse so yeah it's it's fantastic absolutely yeah so pleased to have gotten to hear it really and

AdamYeah.

Leeyeah we'll definitely be looking forward to it getting released and and catching up with it as it as it's aired really.

AdamYeah it's going to be it's going to be nice to have something there that's like coming out over the sort of course of a time cuz I've really I I think I've really just I don't think I can cope with when stuff just gets dumped anymore.

AdamDo you know what I mean it's like have you caught up with that series no well they put up all 12 episodes for fuck's sake I mean such who's got time for that now.

ChrisYou do it week by week.

AdamI'm an old man I can't cope with a modern future.

LeeAnd especially with something like this as well cuz it gives you time to really digest it as well and really think it through so I I I am a binge watcher and and I will admit that but there is something about stuff that comes out week to week that you do think about it more and it does allow it to sort of really percolate more rather than just smashing through it and it's done in four hours and then you move on to next thing you kind of forget about it whereas with stuff like this that comes out week on week yeah you do mentally spend more time in that in that story because you're thinking about what might happen what is this character going to do how is this story going to progress and yeah it it it does make it more interesting in the funny one.

ChrisYeah I've started doing that already definitely especially like you say with the depth and the detail to the world that they've built or starting to build yeah it really works.

AdamI think I think the only thing that's that's worrying me now is that obviously we're ahead of the game.

LeeYeah.

AdamI'm two episodes deep I need episodes week but it ain't going to be for a few now so you know

LeeYeah it's going to be torturous waiting for the rest of it to come out but yeah I'll I should be hoping I've got some nice long drives at work so I can get a chance to really and but yeah if not equally this will be my get home from work after dinner sitting in a dark room and just again with nothing else on as well that's how I like to listen to this stuff just we we've no distractions no googling leave my phone alone and just really really think about it and visualize it all so

AdamYeah.

LeeYeah so it it's fantastic so everyone get on board when this comes out on the 6th of October it's it's great and it's yeah it the fact it's going to be episodic I think is definitely a a good point as well with all of these.

AdamYeah and and go back and listen to the back catalog because I think we'll find

LeeIt's so much stuff there to go through and it's

AdamGreat stuff great and varied.

LeeYeah oh yeah that's

AdamThat's what I was going to say some of it is more gothic style as you say some of it is more kind of 80s and that like it it's it really does run the gambit which is brilliant but again it has that same like I love the old school leading that they do with yeah

LeeYes.

AdamBaron Vladimir Sawdoor is just yeah.

LeeYeah.

LeeOh it's brilliant so atmospheric fantastic right right so thanks ever so much for listening everybody thank you ever so much to Aaron for giving us the access to this to to check it out yeah and so go and check this out excuse me so for Sorry.

AdamIt's it's happening to all of us. This could be the last recording ever made.

LeeYeah. Oh the water running out

Leeso for our next episode off of the back of this having had a discussion between ourselves about old time radio and and you know how much we love that stuff as mentioned earlier we've decided we're going to go back for our next episode and we are going to cover Haunted Honeymoon from 1980 six Yes 1986

AdamI'm I was going to say I was I was going to I was going to try and guess it then but yeah

LeeI'm sorry.

AdamNo I was I was just got 87

Leeit's

AdamI can look foolish.

LeeI love this film so much it's one of the films that I do go back to very regularly I saw it when it was first released Jean Wilder Gilda Radner Dom DeLuise Dom DeLuise for no reason whatsoever but we'll discuss that in the next episode and yeah

AdamI I think you'll find the reason for Dom DeLuise is Dom DeLuise mate.

LeeOh yeah no don't get me wrong I love Dom DeLuise and I would not swap swap him in this film for anyone else but I still don't understand the casting in it but I just think it's a brilliant quirky piece of magic that just elevates this beyond its already genius level

AdamI'm assuming this is a new one on you Chris.

ChrisYeah.

LeeAll right so you'll get to see Peter Vaughn again who doesn't love to see Peter Vaughn I mean I know he looks like your dad so it just reminds you of days of old yeah so I say days of old he's still with us here anyway

Leeanyway I'm going to go for dig myself into a hole so thanks ever so much for listening everybody when this comes out go and check out the Chronicles of Sinyo Jones go and watch Haunted Honeymoon and we'll see you in a fortnight's time thanks very much and good night.

ChrisGood night.

AdamGood night.

ChrisWhat was Peter Vaughn in the last time we saw him?

LeeVaughn into the Curious

ChrisYeah.

AdamYeah. Children of the Damned No Village of the Damned
