SHOWNOTES

(00:05:17) The Baked Potato Song by Matt Lucas on Shooting Stars.

(00:11:45) Sci-fi 4 By The Sea (a poster can be found on our Tumbr page here).

(00:14:20) “Rogue Trooper” is a science fiction strip in the British comic 2000 AD, created by Gerry Finley-Day and Dave Gibbons. It follows the adventures of Rogue, a “Genetic Infantryman”, a genetically created, blue-skinned, manufactured super soldier and his three comrades’ search for the Traitor General. His comrades are in the form of biochips – onto which a G.I.’s entire personality is downloaded at the time of death for later retrieval – and are named Gunnar (mounted on Rogue’s rifle), Bagman (on his backpack) and Helm (on his helmet). He is genetically engineered to be immune to almost all known toxins, can submerge in strong acid unaffected, and is able to withstand a vacuum in his bare skin. A photo of the Rogue Trooper cosplayer can be found on our Tumbr page here.

(00:16:35) Cyberman signed by David Banks (a photo can be found on our Tumbr page here).
