The Legend of Brown Willy-Part 4
The Legend of Brown Willy continues... Three more parts to go and so many mysteries left to solve. Just what manner of creature have the sinister morris dancers summoned from the forest with their chanting? And what fate awaits Linda and Pete, trussed together, helpless offerings to the monster? Is Brown Willy a humanzee, the product of a genetic experiment or is there a more supernatural explanation? Looks like it's down to Hitch and Murray to get to the bottom of this particular crytpozoological conundrum and save the Fortunes from a hairy fate to boot. That's if Murray has recovered from being set on fire and shot at!

Customer Reviews
Fantastic!
this is really good! the quality is remarkably high for a podcast. i thoroughly enjoyed it, and recommend for any tube / train / bus journey you may find yourself on.
A cut above
It's always tricky trying to introduce completely new characters and settings to an audience - especiially in an aural environment - but 'The Paranormalists' does it extremely well. There's lots going on, lots of action and lots of strands to the story, but (and it's a credit to the writing) I'm never lost or confused.
Already, the characters are likeable and 'familiar' with the chemistry between the actors making it a pleasure to listen to. The production and sound design are also superb.
This really is a cut above and I just hope there are more adventures in the pipeline.
Great Start!
I have just managed to successfully download the pod and was in luck to get both episodes which i REALLY enjoyed!! The first episode, although it was entertaining, didn't really convey what it's all about, and i loved the second episode because the elvis story has properly begun and i laughed alot. The thing even if i didnt understand everything that was happening and havent got a clear breakdown of the team yet it made very easy and enjoyable and comice listening, a kind of famous five meets the office crossed with pirates of the carribean. It was also nice and gentle which i think is very important for anytime listening and that played really well with the soundtrack, the music is ace!
I noticed that one of the actors was a third of the consultants which i used to listen to every so often on r4 (im a bit of radio 4 six thirty slot know itall).
V much looking forward to next episode.
