Listen for: The clever detective work as Blackie pieces together clues about the bomb and the two mysterious men, plus the surprise phone call from Sullivan that may not be what it seems.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
