And we're back! Season 7 finds Helen still in her 'safe house' in a parallel universe, trying to come to terms with her new founds 'super power' for blowing stuff into the air. She has been befriended by a local dog, and a walk through the woods leads to a surprising encounter. Meantime, the dog's owner is unhappy about something... With Frances Brodie Oldridge as Marta and Christopher McDougall as the dog. Everybody else played by me. Support the show You can leave a comment or review at www....

And we're off! almost... A few extracts from Episode 1, of Season 7 to whet your appetite. Helen is still in the parallel universe where strange Greek sounding people are involved in her new found power to use her breath to move things (and people?).

Season 6 kicks off with a brand new look, new musical theme, and an amazing adventure for Helen and the crew. This is a screwball comedy serial, in which there are super powers and superior beings handing them out, possibly for the good of the planet. It all remains to be seen. Rene is played by Christopher McDougall, while Helen, Demeter, Persephone, Janey and Susan are playing by Flloyd Kennedy. The episode theme music is "In the Labyrinth", and the music introducing the two Greek people is ...

Season 6 takes a turn to the fantastical, in which Helen is granted super powers to enable her to save the planet. She has no idea what they are, and another thing—isn't The Chosen One usually a teenager?

Once again, I apologise for the delay in getting this up. Fact is, I'm both excited and overwhelmed to be working on a new, spin-off series involving Helen and her friends in a totally, seriously silly adventure. It's proving to be extremely labour and time intensive, so I'm closing down Season 5 to get on with it. I hope to have the new series ready for you in a few weeks. Thanks for listening - stay safe!
