We are playing Tentacle City by Willow Palacek! The people of Tentacle Garden City are going about their ordinary and, let's be honest, faintly ridiculous lives. Little do they realise that they are about to come under attack from hideous tentacles! We are going to find out who survives and who is dragged under by the horrid protuberances.

In this episode:

• The ladies of the Women's Institute face waves of tentacular terror at the clock tower.
• Xanthe and Marie process Dennis's death.

In this episode:

• Teek and Maltar hunt for the parts to repair their spaceship - with widdlywee!
• The Women's Institute return to the medieval fete to find it in tentacle-induced chaos.
• Karen and Wes are still exactly where they started - but surely this time they'll get out of the close?

Needless to say, it'll all end in tears.
