Episode 9.5

Alan and TW have been thinking radical thoughts about the link between population size and global heating. Their presentation of their conclusions - and consequent model - to world leaders at Carbis Bay seems to be going well. Putting the matter with the starkness that the environmental catastrophe calls for, the sticking point has always been finding an acceptable way to make lots of people die. 

But, humanely sensitive to potential suffering and unhappiness as ever, Alan has a hunch that, as long as they meet their fate on a noteworthy birthday and on some sort of (wipe clean) roundabout or carousel, they will be happy to be shot in the head at point blank range. TW has even borrowed an antique brass Gatling gun from the museum to make things yet more special, particularly for weddings and gender reveal parties.
