Gusset Gum and the Temple Of Mood

This episode contains spoilers for our previous episode - Our Flag Means Escape - if you haven't heard that episode yet, please do go and given it a listen first.
 
In this week's pubisode, the gang talk about the show Our Flag Means Death (on HBO Max and BBC iPlayer) and the weird history it's based on; whether UK or US sitcoms are funnier, and Danny shows his appreciation for our ability to pull a puzzle out of our rears.
 
This week's podcast recommendation is Noble Blood. Their episode on The Gentleman Pirate was full of inspiration when coming up with piratical puzzles.
 
Dear listeners, please help us out - we couldn't think of a single US show that had a UK adaptation (though we could think of plenty the other way around).

This week's solvers were Mike Collins and Danny Nicholls. Your Games Maestro and puzzle creator was Jamie Gibbs.

This week Danny, Alan and Jon try and solve Mike's frightful Heston Blumenthal time travel Turkey Twizzler puzzle, all the while uncertain as to whether something else, some deep dreadful metatask is at foot.
Spoiler, there is - but there isn't - BUT THERE IS.
Will they find the pretty much accurate secret recipe? Or will they succumb so suspicion? TIFO!

This week join Ben, Danny and Alan as they find themselves caught in Mike's Machiavellian scheme of treachery, betrayal, and some very unsubtle puzzles. Mike was revoltingly pleased with himself for this one.
Spoiler alert! If you want to be in on the joke from the beginning then read on...
This is the message Ben, Alan and Danny received before the recording:
Hope you don’t mind but I’ve got a cheeky request. For the recording tonight, you have a super secret mission. You are a saboteur, and it will be your role to stop the other two from escaping by solving the exit door puzzle. If the other two get you to admit to being a saboteur then the doll (which will make sense at the time) will get you, and you’ll be ejected from the recording and into the lobby until the others have escaped (or failed). To keep things fun, there will be one or two very subtle clues that something is afoot, but it’ll be up to the others to spot them.If you want to play along with the puzzles, here's the plaques:

Don't let the title fool you. Jon does his best to be dark and creepy while the others consistently undermine him with gags about buttocks, scarecrows, and the many ways in which an abandoned car with a birds nest growing in it might no longer be road worthy. Oh and there's bodies. Lots of bodies.

This week join Danny, Anna and Jon as they find themselves confronting Mike's terrifying creation of Mecha Richard Osman's deadly quiz show.
Massive thanks to Hill Burton for suggesting the quiz question puzzles for this episode - they're absolutely fiendish and it was great fun building a ridiculous episode around them.
Also you might notice that this episode has some iffy audio! Poor ol' Danny managed to goof on his audio settings and recorded his voice track with his webcam rather than his very posh and expensive microphone. Also our track backup solution (CraigBot) has been letting us down of late - so no backup. Whoopsiedoodles.

We are returned! And Normal Service has resumed. And by "normal" I mean a half dozen unbroadcastable outbursts followed by some light philosophy while locked in an Imaginary Fun Prison. Alone.
Poor Danny, Poor, Lonely, Danny.
