  • Tentacle City Part 7 (episode 111)
    May 21 2024

    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, Glamp attempts to impose his will on the stranded aliens, while the ladies of the Women's Institute take a leisurely walk back to the Tentacle Garden City medieval fete.
