Our First Missing Episode

Our First Missing Episode

It's still a surprise to us that we've managed to record and release three episodes of 'Round The Archives In Conversation', with each edition being made available in under 24 hours. In fact, Episode 03 was uploaded less than 5 hours after we first hit the Record button, showing what a great job Martin does with the editing on these!

But Episode 03 was itself the result of a slight emergency situation, when the recording session the previous day didn't quite work as planned.

With a significant chunk of material being lost, it seemed that we were rapidly heading for our very own version of 'Shada', but thankfully the team from 'The Shy Life Podcast' soon came to the rescue.

Paul's imagination is often fired by unexpected happenings and keen viewers of 'Sutton Park' will know that he's not even phased when cast members suddenly find that all their fingers have fallen off.

So, a bit of lost material was no problem and he was able to wave his Yeti Magic Wand (which is impressive, if a little hairy) and give us a 'Shy Life' / 'RTA' crossover episode which reconstructs the majority of the original episode.

Though now we await the inevitable arguments about whether it's true 'Round The Archives' canon or not...

(And that debate will only continue with the new editions of 'The ExtonMoss Experiment'!)

You can listen to Episode 330 of 'The Shy Life Podcast' here.

Many thanks to Paul, Martin and Nick for their help.
