In spite of Bertorelli’s efforts with his pistol in the previous episode, the homing duck turns out not to be dead – just having a little rest. Monsieur Alphonse attempts to take its temperature in an intimate fashion, and is rewarded with a faceful of feathers. There is high entertainment when the duck turns out to be a she, and lays an egg in Fanny’s bed. René masquerades as a French general, complete with an exploding nose, which blows Herr Flick off his feet. Michelle asks to be alone (alern) with René, then declares undying love. Keep listening to find out how this plays out in a future instalment. The tone of the chat in Kim’s kitchen is as convivial as ever, not hindered by some fragrant melon gin.

S2 E9 Watch the Birdie
Welcome once more to Kim’s kitchen, where there is fun to be had with René and the staff, trying as ever to please the Resistance as well as the Germans. In the mcourse of a summit meeting at the chateau of a collection of German generals, René has been ordered by Michelle to photograph a map of their planned invasion, using a prosthetic arm and a little knob under his apron. Kim, Guy and Richard marvel once again at Carmen’s skilful playing, and enjoy Jack Haig and Kenneth Connor playing together for possibly the first time. Watch out for an appearance by an actor who later became famous in a popular soap…

S2 E8 The Arrival of the Homing Duck
Plenty to chat about, as ever, starting with respectful recognition of a dazzling performance by the duck. After recording so many episodes, the tripod realise that there are moments they have completely forgotten, and are watching them as though for the first time. Mimi does an oiutstanding turn in the café, with high kicks and tapping, to thunderous applause. To escape the Communist Resistance, Edith swaps places with Madame Fanny, who comes close to being compromised by Monsieur Alphonse. At home with the Flicks, Helga burns Otto’s shirt tail.

S2 E7 No Hiding Place
Following their slightly lukewarm review of the previous episode, the trio are back in fan mode. René attempts to leave the country disguised as an ancient Jehovah’s Witness, which fools no one, but offers the opportunity for a Jack Haig impression. Gruber and Helga get into disguise as a pimp and his lady, in a plan to protect René in his complicated relationship with the Communist Resistance. Carstairs reflects on whether there is such a thing as the Liberal Resistance. Kim reveals that she still has the exotic turban from this episode, and she models it specially for the listeners.

S2 E6 A Marriage of Inconvenience
Kim and Richard begin by suggesting that this was not the best episode ever. Guy challenges them robustly, and after finding plenty to talk about, the tripod agrees that it is pretty good after all. René and Edith reminsce about their early romance, and how she was the most beautiful girl in the town – in fact, the only girl in the town. There is the capture of René by the Communist Resistance, and the wedding that he is obliged to make to their leader, the fearsome Denise Laroque – which gives cause for the entire cast to assemble in the church in the usual range of disguises – Monsieur Leclerc as the organist, Crabtree as the priest and Flick and Helga as choirboy and choirgirl. Gruber, as best man, is distracted by grief at the propect of René’s maririage.
