The Quanderhorn Xperimentations, Episode 1 - It's Eating My Face

Brian Nylon awakes with no memory to find time behaving very oddly. Is the mysterious genius Professor Quanderhorn behind it? And what is that Martian doing?

Further details

Meet Professor Quanderhorn, a maverick scientific genius with absolutely no moral compass. Assisted by a rag-tag crew - his part insect son, reputedly a "major breakthrough in Artificial Stupidity"; a recovering amnesiac; a brilliant scientist with a half-clockwork brain; a captured Martian hostage and a sinister factotum. He'll save the world. Even if he has to destroy it in the process.

With his Dangerous Giant Space Laser, High Rise Farm, Utterly Untested Matter Transfuser Booth and Fleets of Monkey-driven Lorries, he's not afraid to push the boundaries of science to their very limit. And far, far beyond.

But his arch nemesis, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, has plans to put a stop to his Infernal Xperimentations once and for all.

It's an Adventure beyond human understanding in Super-Vis-O-Sound.

Will our Crew of Brave Boffins survive? Tune in next week - if there is such a thing -for the next thrilling instalment.
