We're back from our summer break! I thought it was about time we reworked a "classic" episode from days gone by. This was our second ever episode and is still one of our most popular, it's called We Eat People. 
The story's much the same but it's been rewritten and it's told in a different way. It might be a wee bit different to usual in delivery because I'd just had my second covid vaccine and was feeling a mite loopy...
Enjoy!
