COMING SOON!!!
REVELATIONS!!
Future
plot twists! Cousin Algernon is the current Controller!!
At
Bettina’s wedding Dameus is revealed to be shape-changer Zap, but it’s not
really Zap it’s just one of his followers. (We May or May not reveal this until
later!)
So Dameus
goes missing; but where is he? We search for him but can’t find him. There are
rumours that he died. An unidentified body has been found – but Bettina will
not believe it.
We often
hear flashbacks to him and Bettina.
Bettina
eventually hooks up with Long Lost Cousin Algernon having been turned down by
Haunty.
We later
discover that Algernon arranged to kidnap Dameus – partly he is furious that
SLP has been saying bad things about Control Inc, plus other reasons.
Dameus
escapes but will he be too late? Plus further twists...
What will
be the episode 400 twist?
DAMEUS'S BIRTHDAY WISH...
A 2 part story with a third associated episode...
Part
1
It
is Dameus’s birthday. We don’t give an exact date. Just TODAY!! Cromitty asks
him what he’d like as a present. Dameus is also jealous of Jay and finds the message that he recorded recently. He even imagines him as a rival. (Jay gets to act like her boyfriend!) He says just for Bettina to have more faith in
him, for him to forget the past. Cromitty calls her up and hypnotises her to
relax. There may be contributions from Toppie/Tappie and even Jay (it shocks
her to realise that she has forgotten who he is, but he sends her a clip from
an old party they both attended.) Dameus comes home and she’s has forgotten
him and calls the Police! There are also SP clips and maybe poems too.
Part
2
The
Police come (maybe Freakquincy), but Martin is there. Paul is able to reassure
Bettina that all is okay and Cromitty undoes the hypnosis and all is well. (See
some of the plot of part 1) Also poems and clips. All is better but Bettina
admits to Tappie that she can’t remember their first date. Paul sends her a
file. Cromitty is very upset about what he called. Paul gets a call saying that
the aliens want Paul as a witness at Zap’s murder trial!!
SHY YETI GIVES EVIDENCE!
Paul
speaks to Martin and Freakquincy about this case. Martin admits that the Police
aren’t that interested. Paul says he won’t go to the trial but then has no
choice and it beamed to the court. He soon realises that he is a suspect. Ikk
is called and is asked if he saw Paul there. Ikk says no, he was down on the
floor. One of the waiters. Ikk was an evil man. Dameus appears and says it was
him! Everyone claims they did it to take the attention away from Dameus. The aliens
get cross and leave. Death by Misadventure. Dameus and Paul talk; he admits
that he feared trouble but never intended to attack Zap. Paul points out that
Zap was trying to kill them and shot himself.
THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!!
There is bad feeling in Shy Life Podcast-land when a light-hearted popularity contest to celebrate 3 years of the show goes badly wrong and the results are declared as "the will of the people"! Is this true or have the results been rigged!?! Combined with Number 1 fan episode as flashback... Ikk and the regulars really want to be the Number 1 Fan for the BFO! But this may mean altering time... which is cheating!! Would they really go THAT far!?!
ETHEL THE LANDLADY
Paul gets a call from a lady who he rung randomly during his search for University lodgings back in September 1992 - who never got back to him at the time... She thinks it is still 1992. Paul tries to explain but in the end gives up and discusses the situation with Cromitty and Yeti Uncle John. Ikk says that he can send Yeti Uncle John down a time corridor if Cuthbert agrees to help. Yeti Uncle John is interested in the free food. Cromitty interested from a scientific point of view. The first two Ethel messages appear at the end of episodes just before this one.
THE FIRST EPISODE IS RECORDED - BUT THERE WILL BE A SEQUEL...

### Charlie Grrr and The Pie With The Pastry Plumage!
Paul and Toby go to Venice in Mid-March with Yeti Uncle John as they have been invited by Charlie to attend a special Pie Exhibition; although a number of pies begin to go missing... Paul doesn't immediately realise that John also has an invite! It is all done in a slightly giallo style! Cromitty has built a surveillance device to watch Paul and Toby whilst they are in Venice - so they can all see Charlie's exhibition and also interact with Dameus and Bettina - but Tappie and Toppie also get involved as she is keen to spy on D & B in case Bettina is over-spending or Dameus is doing anything suspicious. Cromitty gets photos of a leather-gloved villain - but in the end it is Charlie and Yeti Uncle John both eating the pies; they bump into one another.
Record as much as can in Venice and then record...

Albert The Dragon And The Home For
Homeless/Wayward/Deprived/Under-privileged Phoenixes
COMING SOON!!
We follow Albert’s Progress as he opens a home for deprived
phoenixes…
This is an episode where Cromitty tells Paul about something dreadful that happened when he and Yeti Uncle John were in Venice... Cromitty didn't come this time (??) as he has bad memories of when he was there back in 2016 (when he was still evil). Cromitty tells a tale of how he was working on some old computers and has found a box in Paul's loft that may date back to the Sutton Park era - including an old computer that he wrote his dissertation on... When he gets it working it starts chattering about Sutton Park and it gave him a shock - knocking him unconscious... It controls Martin who turned Cuthbert on... It begins to infect him - spreading a virus but Cromitty regained consciousness and was able to cut off the power. Is Cuthbert okay now? Cromitty thinks so... Only... Cuthbert appears to have amnesia! He cannot remember who Paul is... Paul is distraught!
Record some of it in the podcasting studios during Jan/Feb and the rest in Salisbury in late Feb (with Cuthbert!)
