It’s episode 14 of The Missing Episodes Podcast! The first story of season 4 sees the Lloyd/Davis soft reboot continue, with a trip to 19th Century Cornwall.

Brian Hayles returns to write the first truly generic historical, which see groovy new companions Ben and Polly embark on their first adventure in time and space.

What more do you need in a 19th Century historical romp than pirates vs smugglers vs revenue men?

Tim is joined by colouriser Rich Tipple https://www.itsfarfrombeingallover.co... and researcher Rhys Williams (Doctor Who Magazine) who are all more accepting of the concept of time travel than Ben.

Together they tackle the questions of why The Smugglers tends to slip from fans’ minds, what The Smugglers might have looked like and how successful (or otherwise) it was. Then it’s off on the usual world tour, as we look at where The Smugglers sold, what the Aussie and New Zealand censors thought and what the chances are of ever seeing some more of it are.

So grab a Smallbeer from the fridge, lay down on a comfortable Gurney, and join us as we crack Deadman’s secret key and take a long, hard look at The Smugglers!
