Summary

NB Apologies for the very poor audio in this episode. Not only did we battle with having no audience, frequent interruptions as people walked in, and the theatre lights going off during the recording, there was a loud hum from a light which had to be edited out but which has resulted in a significant loss of sound quality. If you make it through the whole of this episode - congratulations!
