Episode 5.15

Just as some people hate Mondays, Alan never looks forward to series finales. But this one started well when a charming bearded man, the head of an Oxbridge college apparently, invited him for cocktails atop Jodrell Bank. Mind you, what may have been meant as a warm chuckle was at the evil cackle end of the spectrum.

But since then, the Saucer’s spooky cloister bell - why has he never Freecycled it?!? - has been clanging ominously. And isn’t he being spied on by a strange silent cove - a ‘Watcher’ if you like - clad in white?

Alan begins to suspect that there may, after all, be some unpleasantness in store for him before the final credits roll.
