Heston’s Time Travelling Turkey Twizzler Caper
Sunday Mar 13, 2022
Sunday Mar 13, 2022
This week Danny, Alan and Jon try and solve Mike's frightful Heston Blumenthal time travel Turkey Twizzler puzzle, all the while uncertain as to whether something else, some deep dreadful metatask is at foot.
Spoiler, there is - but there isn't - BUT THERE IS.
Will they find the pretty much accurate secret recipe? Or will they succumb so suspicion? TIFO!

Imagine if you lived in a peaceful, snow covered country that was absolutely perfectly fine until unpleasant things started falling on it. This isn't what you think...and also, sort of is.
But, tasteful.
Aled, Mike and Annekoos try and worm their way out of Jon's horrendous snowscape...with music!

Keep your mind out of the gutter, and your imagination in Gandalf's armpit as the gang find themselves the victim of a well intentioned magical whoopsie.
Will they listen for suspicious silences?
Will they check themselves before the wreck themselves?
Are hankies internationally recognised?
Tune in, find out!

Escape The Wacky Races

Remember Dick Dasterdly? Remember Mutley? Remember Penelope Pitstop? If any of these names mean anything to you then you were either a) a child in 1968 or b) a child after 1968 watching re-runs of a very curious little specimen of a cartoon.
This week the team hit the track in the Wacky Races. Their task is simple, make sure the race goes ahead without a hitch. Or a death. Or a crime against humanity.
Their host is Jon, so this should be easy...

Oh bother!
With Winnie the Pooh entering the public domain in 2022, Jamie takes Mike and Laura through a little stroll through the Hundred Acre Wood. Can they make it out before the House of Mouse comes a-stomping through the trees?
Cue a very sticky bed, a gratuitous Winnie the Pooh impression, and many BEEEEEES.
This one was a little shorter than expected - Mike and Laura did incredibly well. Note to self: make puzzles harder when playing with sober solvers.
