36: Ultraworld
Core blimey! Avon loves computers but enough to run around inside one? For this is Ultraworld - every technophobe's nightmare. Menaced by both the bald and the elderly, our heroes must perambulate through a PC to save calamitous Cally and a particularly sweaty Avon, while hoping they don't mix up their minds. After all, Avon's personality in Cally's body doesn't bear thinking about. Is this the worst ever Blue Man Group gig? Why is Dayna dentally dangerous? Which Christmas crackers does Vila buy (and how can you avoid them)? And did Ultraworld blow Jim and Martin's minds or leave them brain dead? Listen to find out!

35: Sarcophagus
Time for our intrepid travellers to play at dress up. Cally's uses her lizard brain, Tarrant is the Scarlet Gimpernel, Dayna indulges in some blatant lyreing, and Vila's become a low-rent children's entertainer. Avon, of course, is the bloke in black who ruins everyone's fun. But what is the secret of the space pumpkin? Should Avon really be going round kissing dead people? Less importantly, can he beat Tarrant in a piddling competition? And did Jim and Martin gain new life from watching Sarcophagus or was it like being trapped at a particularly weird wake?

34: Rumours of Death
Avon (or "Avon" to his loved ones) has a score to settle - even if that means some voluntary confinement and ocular endangerment along the way. He wants to cut Shrinker down to size but it turns out the trembling torturer might not have been Anna's executioner after all. Meanwhile, Servalan knows that rebuilding the Federation is a marathon, not a sprint, but it looks like she's hit a wall. Will the wise-cracking dentists make it to the end of the episode? Do Avon and Dayna really stash their prized possessions where the sun don't shine? Can Tarrant ever be forgiven for THAT moment on the patio? And do Jim and Martin feel that Rumours of Death is a glorious triumph or a Pyrrhic victory? Listen to find out!

33: Children of Auron
Servalan's feeling broody so everyone else must suffer for her little children. Wiping out Cally's race is, of course, a small price to pay for these fascist foetuses and, call it nesting instinct if you like, she also has her eyes on the Liberator. But she reckons without uncommunicative Aurons, subordinate infighting and Orac the apothecary. But what the heck is Michael Troughton wearing and why? Can Servalan's dress tell the future? Who filled the Liberator flight-deck with nitrous oxide? And did Jim and Martin feel paternal towards the episode or was it like babysitting the Bash Street Kids? Listen to find out!

32: City at the Edge of the World
So Vila finally gets his moment in the (CSO) sun. And all he has to do to earn it is open an unopenable door and avoid being killed by a Six-maniac. But at least he almost gets the girl. How do you subtly hint to a new acquaintance that they may have personal hygiene issues? What are the practical difficulties posed by invisible legs? Can you really raise kids and cattle on an asteroid? And did Jim and Martin find the episode full of Homeworld charm or was it like crawling through slime? Listen to find out!
