‘They are not ice crystals!' Joe & Martin hit their favourite episode of the serial and are deeply moved by the introduction of Binro, and laughing their heads off at Garron's absurdly operatic criminal past.

All but one doomed to die...thus written! Joe & Martin are up to their old tricks again, selling planets, pulling the wool over evil despots and coming from the North!

Vale Udo Kier. A true legend with the wildest career. I was lucky enough to get to hang out with him when he was working on Guy Maddin's Spiritismes/Seances project. He refused to learn my name and would just call me 'ze British guy!' and tickle me when he saw me ❤️

It's a dark, rainy November evening with a chill in the air - no better time to pay a visit to Fetch Priory! Just don't ask those nice scientists about what they got up to last night...
We welcome Martin into the Hamster family, discover his Doctor Who journey and find out precisely what happened last night at Fetch Priory. 'A dead one what other sort is there?'

Take a bit of good old filth. Cream together with a spoonful of plain nonsense. Throw in the apple cores very hard, put the lot in a shallow tin and bake in a high oven for two weeks. Result? This!!
'I will be a God!' Every horror trope imaginable descends on Fetch Priory; cults, eldrich horrors, slavering monsters, ghosts...and Martin and I are raring to face them all!
