BBC Radio 4 - Quanderhorn, The Quanderhorn Xperimentations, Dah dah dah dah dah dahh Dah dah dah dah dahhhh...

Troy tries to comfort a dying Brian. And fails.

Facing the diabolical traps of the Alien ziggurat has deadly consequences for Brian. Stars Ryan Sampson. From 2018.

It's 1952. Of course.

As Churchill's squadron of bagpiping bombers grows closer, our intrepid crew and their duplicates face the diabolical traps of the Alien ziggurat.

Meanwhile, Jenkins races back to the laboratory to secure the cellar, and uncovers a duplicate Quanderhorn, who claims he's the real thing.

Barely surviving the Deadly Duck Trap, the Waterfall of Glue and the Collapsing Stairway of Strangling Vines, Brian and the originals face the ultimate challenge - the Mirror Maze of Laser Death.

The duplicates reach the prize, the legendary Gaulus Tempus - the Time Bucket - but they are immediately betrayed by Guuuurk 2 who claims it for Mars.

Can Gemma, Troy, Guuuurk and Brian triumph and use the Time Bucket to save reality before the bombers strike and the bagpipers strike up Ride of the Valkyries?

The Quanderhorn Xperimentations - an adventure beyond human understanding.
