After the destruction of your close friends by some interplanetary mirror jerks, who wouldn't seek comfort at home? In this week's chapter our narrator heads back to his wife, but not before slagging off some locals.

Also, we take a look at what it meant to have PTSD in Victorian times (it didn't exist then) and a quick chat with the wonderful Bexie Archer!

Bexie plays the role of 'the wife' bringing all her experience as a RADA trained actor, a member of the BBC Writersroom 2019/2020, Chortle Student Comedy Award winner, and one half of Your Dad's Mum
