Along the way we create an new type of audiobook, attempt a terrible bit of acting, and spend too much time discussing cheese. Intro and outro music is from They Live by John Carpenter.

In this episode we take a look at Die Another Day from 2002. Pierce Brosnan's last outing as the sophisticated British spy was the biggest grossing Bond film until Casino Royale, but divided opinions on its release. Will the same happen to us? Meanwhile, Paul reveals a fear of two headed women and mixes up a musical space walk with the sounds of the imperial march, and we ponder where supervillains go shopping. Intro music is Die Another Day by Madonna and the outro is Paul Oakenfold's remix of the Bond theme.

It's chocks away as we take a look at Biggles Adventures in Time from 1986. A very British time traveling adventure film that has become a cult classic. Along the flight we discuss Neil Dickson's appearance as Biggles in the Pet Shop Boy's film, we ponder if any movie can be improved with a helicopter stunt and how Peter Cushing always adds class.
We discovers Paul's 'alleged' dislike of vegetables (except cucumbers), and realize that he's confused toyline Action Force's Baron Ironblood with a real WWI German pilot.
Meanwhile Colin has trouble with the time paradox and wonders why do characters in 80s films never take their outdoor jacket and shoes off when relaxing at home.
Intro music "Do You Want to be a Hero" by Jon Anderson and Outro music "No Turning Back" by The Immortals.
