    fter a couple of relatively in-depth episodes the gang settle back into their old routine, loosen their belts and have a good old natter about the best books to read on the holiest of holes. Basic practicalities such as portability, absorbency (i.e. attention spans) and the cloth-touching of family trouser-turtles are all mulled over and given the serious consideration they deserve.

    Meanwhile welcome distractions are provided by a hacking cough, the cheapskate Ambassador of Ferrero Rocher and Blue Peter ladies - both totty and notty.

    Books and authors discussed include The Green Mile, The Yellow Wallpaper, Robert Bloch, Blood Sword, Leather Goddesses Of Phobos, Charles Dickens, The Lottery, The Running Man, HP Lovecraft and Legends. Strangely no mention is made of Wee Jock Poo-Pong McPlop, for which I apologise.

    We do however mention a website from which you can get access to a whole bunch of free stories online - here's the link http://freesf.blogspot.com/

    Send your entries for the banner and logo competition flooding in to scrolls@hotmail.co.uk and for the sake of economy you can use the same e-mail address to contact us about joining in with the Scrolls Book Group podcast - open to all.

    I'm on Twitter now @Dion_Scrolls so I'd love to get any feedback there, on the forums at http://www.gsforums.co.uk via e-mail or on the comments section below. So much choice!

    Music is as ever by Steadman - except for the jazzy bit at the start which came off of some crappy cd I got free with a cocktail shaker a few years back.

    I should probably add that we are giggly and explicit from the beginning, but not so distasteful as to be graphic. Well, not that graphic. Wuss. Strap yourselves in, it's going to be a bum-py ride.

    With Flint unavailable, Rich pulls in Iz to see how someone who actually jumped on at prog 1700 is coping with the current storylines. They go through progs 1703-1706 and of course take time to take the piss out of the absent Irishman. This one was recorded slightly differently to normal, so apologies for the sound quality.


    As usual, expect spoilers throughout and language not suitable for the kiddies.

    Sometimes a book comes along that you really want to explore and talk to other people about. It's not enough to just read it and recommend it, you want to rave about it or throw your ideas around because its blown your mind - but you don't always have people around you can do this with.

    Well now you do,
    because we're inviting you to join us in a fully interactive podcast. Crazy talk? Oh no, my friend. We're looking to put you centre-stage with the Scrolls team to discuss a book of your choosing via the magic of Skype.

    This pilot episode has been put together to give you a flavour of how the episodes might go and the level of detail we can get into. In it
    we discuss Shirley Jackson's masterful tale of claustrophobia and lunacy in the confines of a happy family home - We Have Always Lived In The Castle. Neither horror, fantasy or sci-fi it still feels like our kind of book and is an absolutely fascinating read.

    There are spoilers throughout
    , so be warned.

    The missing element is you.

    If you have a nomination for a genre book that you want to discuss with the Scrolls team, please contact us via e-mail at scrolls@hotmail.com or send me a tweet @Dion_Scrolls.

    We will pick one out of the hat and make arrangements to record the episode with you at the next available opportunity. Get enough applicants and positive feedback and we may well make this a full time podcast. Until then we'll have it as an occasional Scrolls Special. It's in your hands people.

    because we're inviting you to join us in a fully interactive podcast.  Crazy talk?  Oh no, my friend.  We're looking to put you centre-stage with the Scrolls team to discuss a book of your choosing via the magic of Skype. 

    This pilot episode has been put together to give you a flavour of how the episodes might go and the level of detail we can get into.  In it
     we discuss Shirley Jackson's masterful tale of claustrophobia and lunacy in the confines of a happy family home - We Have Always Lived In The Castle.  Neither horror, fantasy or sci-fi it still feels like our kind of book and is an absolutely fascinating read.  

    There are spoilers throughout
    , so be warned.

    The missing element is you.  

    If you have a nomination for a genre book that you want to discuss with the Scrolls team, please contact us via e-mail at scrolls@hotmail.com or send me a tweet @Dion_Scrolls.  

    We will pick one out of the hat and make arrangements to record the episode with you at the next available opportunity.  Get enough applicants and positive feedback and we may well make this a full time podcast.  Until then we'll have it as an occasional Scrolls Special.  It's in your hands people.

    Direct Podcast Download

    Finally the Dissecting Worlds pair get back on the beat and bring together the conclusions from series 2 on Law & Order and Crime & Punishment in this bumper episode.
    In so doing they look at the subject in Vampire fiction. They consider the seperation of the Judicary in genre fiction. Ask why does Jonah.J.Jameson hate spiderman? They also ponder the relationship between Babylon 5 security and the Chief Constable of South Wales. Sigmund Freud and TV's Sherlock help with enquiries, and Starfleet Security's job spec is considered.
    On the way they also consider the shady godlen dagger wielding almost respectable genre cousin of Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror - Crime Fiction & telly - CSI ends up walking into a door taking the jury system with it and Morse may fall down some stairs.
    Harry Potter, Capes and Tights and Dredd also guest star, With some parochial Marvel movie news. Ed McBain & She Hulk are mentioned in dispatches.
    Kehhar gets confused bettween honor/guilt culture (refering to honour and face which are the same thing - the dolt!) & gets told off by his wife.
    It's just like an early epsiode of the Sweeney really but without the smoking.
    They might even mention The Wire in an epsiode with more conclusions than the Return of the King movie.
