Hello, Patrons! Thanks for being here for yet another month.
Sanja, Dan Does and I were away on Monday night – the night before Halloween – filming in Pluckley, supposedly the UK’s most haunted place.
It’s NOT an episode of Supernatural World, because it doesn’t have Eli or Gannon - they've been away recording in LA (alright for some) - and… well… we weren’t really there to look for ghosts. You’ll see what I mean. I’d warned Sanja and Dan what the place was actually going to be like, and well… they mocked me for being a worrier.
I don’t want to say I told them so, but… I told them so. I think it’s very, very funny. Dan was excellent value, and if you haven’t watched his crafting videos, he’s very ‘Digi’…
Oh and yeah. We stayed in a ‘haunted’ pub managed by Paul Hollywood’s wife, who served us dinner, and also had to clean up an entire pint of beer that I spilled… Apologies to Sanja; we apparently weren't impressed enough when she first revealed who the landlady was.
Supernatural World will return, once we can all get together at some point with the CS boys.
I was hoping to rush the Pluckley video out for Halloween week, but it’s going to take a little longer to pull it all together (three mics – which complicates things, as only two of them connect to the wireless receiver), so expect it either towards the end of this week or early next.
Gretna Green will be going out this week instead for everyone – give it a watch if you haven’t already, as I think it’s a great antidote to the heaviness of the Sellafield video.
CHEAPITSER LIVE
We met up with Gannon yesterday to discuss this Saturday's Cheapitiser live show. It's an hour on Saturday afternoon in London - very low-key (if an appearance from Beanus can ever be considered low-key), as part of a podcast festival, with a tiny audience. Tickets are still available, so it's not too late to come along.
We'll obviously be hanging around afterwards to chat, and it'll be your last chance to see us all live for a good long while. It promises to all be very relaxed, and very silly.
We'll do a Biffo's Brain Zoom next week to recap the show, and we're also considering a Writer's Club Zoom for sometime soon.
DIGI LEVEL 2
We'll be seeing some of our backers, which includes some of you, in Derby on the 18th for the last bit of Digi Level 2 filming. I've no idea whether we're going to get any of it out before Christmas.
This year just ran away with itself, for one reason or another, but we have decided that we'll be moving all our games-related stuff to a separate Digitiser gaming channel. That will be the home of Digi Level 2, which is likely to continue on for a while past the planned six full episodes.
BYAMPOD
Yes - we’re moving onto Sounds That Can’t Be Made on BYAMPOD at last! Hurrah! We should be recording part one of that tomorrow.
We also just had a lovely chat with Marillion Manager Lucy Jordache on Zoom, which will be on the next edition of Marillion Monthly on YouTube. She was very lovely to us.
Right. That's it. More soon. Thank you as always for all your support. LOVE YOU!

You won’t be getting a handshake for that!

Love you guys too and digi / Marillion community, we're a lovely bunch. 😍 I can't wait to see the next Marillion monthly, how cool, taking to Lucy. I'm always too chicken to go up and say hi, at the gigs, I really must next time. I can't make it to the Cheapshow shoe or Roundhouse gig, which I'm a bit bummed out at, plans have just clashed, but hey ho, I know it will be brilliant and I can't wait to hear the reviews. Take care, you two and have a fun week x 😎🍺👍
