Just listened to this. I'm listening to these in a fairly random order, so am not following continuity things intently.
I thought it was tremendous fun. Andy is always entertaining, but it was the double act that made this one so very special.
I did find some of the spatial description things a bit hard to follow. But I was happy just to wing it.
And the Committee stuff was intriguing. David Warner!
So yes, nicely done, and very entertaining.

That was fun. Norton’s an intriguing and hilarious character and Andy gets a good showing too.

That was so much fun! I'm zero sort of expert on TW continuity so I don't know what was there / not there / hinted at / being misleading at the end and I don't care, it was all brilliant! (And despite what it says upthread I reckon they were the actual Graces from 'The Key to Time 2' and Scott Handcock just hasn't found out yet - you have to have all the pieces to hold the key... )
Sgt. Andy and Norton are a fabulous combination, great writing from James Goss and two stellar, high-energy performances which run straight over into the interview tracks (I have to say I will never be able to listen to Marcus Tullius Cicero being serious and legal in quite the same way ever again... )
David Warner was the icing on the cake and among the raft of one-liners, some more outrageous than others (oh you naughty man Mr. Folgate ) the bit that made me laugh most was 'The Bide-A-Wee Care Home'. For those who aren't such 'Carry On' films fans as me, in their glorious 1966 'Hammer' spoof Carry On Screaming 'Bide-A-Wee' was the name of Dr. Watt's home for the recently undead and Dr. Watt (gettit?, yes of course you do) was played to 110% by the legendary Kenneth Williams - and if there wasn't a bit of him in Norton Folgate, I'm much mistaken.
