If you buy the November issue of Sci-Fi Now magazine, you'll discover that all of page 18 is given over to a thought-provoking interview with the creators of The Scarifyers, Simon Barnard and Paul Morris. "In the fourth one we sort of reach a bit of a peak with an international dimension," says Morris, bafflingly.

And if you want to go for the whole audio-visual experience, you can also hear Barnard's drab tones spoiling the otherwise interesting Yog Radio podcast

Nick, Terry and the rest of the Scarifyers gang returned to the studio this week to record episode four, The Curse of the Black Comet. But this time they were joined by shouty bearded thesp Brian Blessed.

Brian joins the cast to play the world’s worst explorer, Sir Basil Champion. "The extraordinary thing is that I always wanted to play (Arthur Conan Doyle's) Professor Challenger, and this is the opposite side of the coin, Basil Champion. Professor Challenger is a great explorer, but Basil Champion is completely useless," says Brian.

The Curse of the Black Comet will be released in 2009.

The Brig speaks to Den of Geek about Peru, Frankie Howerd and The Scarifyers. “I like playing nasties,” he declares.

If you've listened to the documentary on the end of The Scarifyers: For King and Country, then you'll have heard an interview with Richard Morris, author of the rather wonderful Harry Price biography Harry Price: The Psychic Detective.

If you'd like a signed copy of this fantastic book for just £11.00, including postage and packing - a saving of £7.99 off the RRP - then e-mail Richard direct at harry-price@hotmail.co.uk

Sutekh the Destroyer himself, Gabriel Woolf, will be signing copies of The Scarifyers: For King and Country at London's The Who Shop on Saturday May 3rd, 1.30pm-3.00pm. And he'd be very happy to see you there.

If you'd like a signed CD but can't make it to East Ham on the day, reserve your copy by e-mailing info@thewhoshop.co.uk

For she reigns o’er the living and dwells with the dead,
O’er shoreline and beach, o’er heathland and marsh,
She sees all that men do, and her judgement be harsh…
