So...what did we learn last time? - OSP’s USP is ESP - AA has the ability to shock the world with her punctuality - For M’dea and Mr M’dea, much of Christmas time is likely to be hammer time as they while away the bleak midwinter delighting in ‘Ding Dong Dulcimer on High: Dulcie Dulcimer’s 50 Christmas Dulcimer Classics’ Turns out Episode 3 isn’t called Keep It Under Your Hjat! after all, but No Stranger By Night. First aired on September 20th 1983. What were we all doing then? I’d imagine: - M’dea was constructing her own dulcimer - AA was surprising people by turning up on time somewhere for once - OSP instinctively knew both these things were happening from several hundred miles away - Me? I’d just started grappling with barbarians. And hoped they wouldn't grapple back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iH8XY...H8XY6szSo4 |

Just to save a bit of time this evening, I'll do everyone's first post for them: M'dea: this'd better be good... AA: six minutes late - signal failure at Gerrards Cross OSP: reportin' for duty and keepin' it real, innit - booyakasha! CB: chunter-chunty-chunty-chunter... You're so welcome. |

So so so do SO looking forward to this episode. We're hitting the halfway point and with the decent pacing we've had so far I think something is going to happen tonight. I may be wrong but I'm still going to enjoy it.

Sadly, the dulcimer is not completed so I am unable to bring you my rendering of the Greek-type background soundscape. You'll just have to imagine it.

The BBC really is more like a collection of 'Old Boys' with the same people appearing in everything.

When Egan half-closes his eyes to look sinister, he just looks a bit drowsy. Like he’s taken meds you shouldn’t use before operating machinery |

Where is Gerrard's Cross, CB? Nowhere near York, I think. I am late - sorry - because I was distracted by a fire engine pulling up outside my house. I went to look, but no sign of a fire, and no sign of any urgency - the driver seemed to be sitting in his cab doing paperwork. |

Fire engine has just driven off up the street - fairly slowly, but with blue lights flashing. No idea what is going on. |

This tune’s called ‘Plinky Plonk, Plonky Plink, Plinky Plonky Plonk Plink’. But so are all the others. |

“I think his phantom's trying to tell me something. About flinging flanu.” Just be thankful he's not a batter pudding hurler. (Obligatory Goon Show reference). "You're not sulking, I hope?"
