Last two! Episodes 29 and 30 for Season 1 of The Magnus Protocol. I’ve utterly loved this project.

Excited for Season 2!

Keyed In: *tells the tragic story of a desire to relive the best moments of a relationships past leading to dooming your future, while at the same time foreshadowing the doom that awaits Celia and Sam*

Me: yes yes, very cool, but what happens if you put the key in someone's ass?

TMP Ep. 29

Ed: ...You’re on best behaviour, Mike.

Mike: I am on best behaviour, I’ve got on- I’ve worn my best, my sort-of, my smartest, y’know party clothes, there I am-

Ed: [laughs]

Mike: -I’ve brushed my teeth, and I’ve ha-in some of them I’ve even had a hair cut, not all of them of course, cause y’know, we then, y’know, for some of the studio, for some of the tasks we were plunged into lockdown-

Ed: Yeah-

Mike: -they sort of dragged us back out again, from under our little rocks to try again and do some tasks.

Ed: Can you notice that then, ‘cause I don’t think I’ve noticed that yet, can you see what days were sort-of immediately post-lockdown, and what days…were a little bit fresher?

Mike: I can-I can-I can see it partly- partly because of the physical appearance and I can-I can-I can also detect a slight attitude change, as well, in myself…I mean every single one of those days was a little holiday for me anyway, right-

Ed: Of course, yeah.

Mike: -you work from home a lot, and, you know it’s an airing, it’s a good old fashioned airing, but, the- the sheer relief of the lockdown ones, when someone said: “Yes, you can leave your home, and it’s okay ‘cause its work, and come to this abandoned Air Force hanger in the middle of nowhere” and the purest thrill of, yeah, being somewhere else for the day and then-and doing, doing that- stuff, yeah, it was joyous, absolutely joyous.

Ed: Which is sort of what I imagine you do on a day off anyway, is to go to a disused aircraft hanger.

Mike: Oh, of course, yeah but normally there’s nobody else about, d’y’know what I mean? There’s just me and a couple of, couple of rabid voles, yeah, to hang out with-

Ed: [laughs]

Mike:-and we try and avoid the, uh, the Eagle Owl, that’s roosting there.

Ed: [wheezing]

Mike: -and we have a bit of a laugh, but one of us invariably gets caught, and it’s all very sad in the end.

Ed: But that’s the game, that’s the game isn’t it.

Mike: Don’t hate the player, is what I say to the Owl…

Ed: Don’t hate the Eagle…
