Now that the podcast is on a short hiatus at the end of Season 2, we bring you a bonus episode – Willing Spirits, a the pilot for a radio sitcom that we created during lockdown, using smartphones and zoom. The cast was scattered across the globe, from Australia to Kent, via Herfordshire and the Cotswolds. This presented a number of challenges, and the quality is not as polished as it would be had it been recorded in a studio. However, we think it will still entertain, and depending on the response that we receive from airing this, we will consider re-recording it, along with the rest of the series. Some of our more sharp-eared listeners will recognise the voice of Jan Francis, who played Yvette in Secret Army – the drama series of which ‘Allo ‘Allo! was based, and whose character was the model for Michelle of the Resistance.

S2 E20 Land Mines for London
Gathered around Kim’s table once again, the Peasants talk about Kim removing Richard’s trousers, sharing a jacuzzi with the red hot 1980s’ band Curiosity Killed the Cat, and many other matters of world importance. As they toast the final episode of Season 2 of the podcast with a glass of Prosecco (any excuse), Richard is made to drink his from a plastic cup, as he is not to be trusted with glass. Lots of plot, as usual, involving another elaborate scheme by Michellle of the Resistance to get the airman away, but as usual, it all turns to dust.
This episode marks the end of Season 2. But we are not going away, and will be back in a few weeks with more analysis of the great questions of the universe.

S2 E19 Puddings Can Go Off
Plenty of the usual lively chat from Kim’s kitchen. Monsieur Leclerc puts in a brief appearance as an exploding pudding seller, but is ejected before he has a chance to speak. In a scene involving Lieutenant Gruber, the writers are powerless to resist a “they eat faggots for breakfast gag”. Kim’s unusually tanned complexion and the liveliness of the acting hint at a recent break from filming. Disguised as monks, Flick and von Smallhausen look even sexier than usual, and soon find themselves tangled up in the bell tower of a church – or, as von Smallhausen puts it: “suspended by the clappers”. With the second series of the podcast soon to take a short break, the peasants float the idea of airing the pilot of an audio comedy series that they have recorded, with the possibility of releasing the series as a podcast.

S2 E18 Money to Burn
The episode commences with a duet from René and Edith. Needless to say, one of them is more in tune than the other. The airmen, concealed in a pair of large mines, are being trained in how to release themselves in mid-air by unscrewing their nuts. Once again, despite elaborate groundwork by Michelle of the Resistance, things do not go according to plan. In the kitchen, Kim’s hospitality towards her fellow peasants is as lavish as ever, and as they toil at their work, the heatwave raging outside makes extra ice essential in the gin.
