As the weather begins to warm up, Doctor Velvet and Blackout of The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour decide to take a leaf out of Mad Lizzie's book of exercise. Off they go for a bracing stroll to call on Simon and Ken at The ExtonMoss Experiment. Naturally this walk takes them via the off-licence, but that's only to be expected and since when has supporting a local business been a thing to be frowned upon?
Ever the hospitable gentlemen, ExtonMoss invite PeggyMountPod in for a tipple and a chinwag. Before you know it, all four are glued to the box as pre-school witchcraft illuminates the room with The Pogles arguably casting more magic than their woodland-sorcerous nemesis...
Which member of the gang would like to see all episodes of The Pogles fully restored? Which member of the gang would like to see all episodes of The Pogles fully restored and colourised? And which member of the gang would like to see all episodes of The Pogles fully restored, colourised and with the effects-work overseen by John Carpenter, Tom Savini and Eli Roth?
Fight your way out of that twig-cage, punch Play and find out...

Items of note...
Yes! Blackout went to the Postgate/Firmin SmallFilms exhibition in Canterbury and saw the actual Pogles and that actual witch from off of the episode! Unfortunately, he did this mere days after recording this episode, and so doesn't mention it once. Not even the fact that it's on. Typical. No culture.
