Hey hey, the gang's all here! And as Bertie does his best to transmute body horror to body black comedy, we are left to ponder the reasons for this lab, the nature of the 'work' being done and exactly what IS kidney? After all, 'Mr Ceiling' has gone to an awful lot of trouble to make sure that they were likely to survive. And even went to the effort of bespoke prosthetics - isn't that nice? And in the end, isn't that what we would all want - after a hard day's adventuring, to head to a hospital where everyone (or at least, all the disembodied voices) knows your name? Beautiful work from everyone here, particularly to alleviate some of the bleakness of the previous episode. The varying levels and nature of how the characters panic is wonderfully highlighted in their reactions. And we have yet more evidence as to why Bertie is a terrible, terrible person who shouldn't be allowed to play with others... although I can't help feeling that there's a 'Why did Oscar Wilde cross the road' joke in there somewhere

I've missed Bertie in the team. Just the dynamics between them all is fantastic. Loved today. And I don't trust anything!

Awesome episode. Much better than what I suspected about Frankenstein. Creepy robotics ? I feel like there are HAL jokes coming up.
Also loving the return to the dynamic. How do we know it's Bertie? Because he's rude and insulting about everything. Although he didn't attack the table... I assume this is because the table was metal? Surgical rooms are normally more metal than wood, right?

I love the reuniting sequence. The epic confusion and shock was fun to play and joyful to listen too. I also enjoyed the game of working out what the Paladin's names were before Bertie anglicised them. I think we eventually settled on Guillame for Graham.

Yeah, the linguistic legerdemain you all were performing was very fun. Can't fault using 'Guilleme' for 'Graham' despite the fact that's actually 'William' :-)

Listening to today's episode was delightful. It is comforting to have the party all back together, and the dynamic picking up immediately where it had left off.

Zolf was brilliant in this episode. Just the way he was struggling to cope with losing his legs but still trying to stay the leader and keep everyone on track. Hope he gets awesome robotic legs.
