Currently listening to this one, the last story in season 5 of the Benny audios. And gobsmacked.

It's a totally bonkers adventure for Benny and Adrian. Truly bizarre in a theatrical and imaginative way. It reminds me of so many things e.g.
  • Blake's 7 TV episode "Gambit"
  • Alice in Wonderland
  • Doctor Who adventures with the Toymaker
  • The Prisoner TV series
  • MUD computer games
  • Tom Stoppard's play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead"
There's very little logic to anything, though it does repeatedly argue for its own internal logic.

But it's utterly compelling to listen to.

Great music too! And extremely metatextual.

But yup, crikey. Highly recommended.

I do realise I've written very little about what it's about. But going in unprepared is probably for the best.
