What happens

On the Magic Island of Euclidea, Jerry Hall and Joan Gregory are locked in a steel-doored cell with Mrs. Gregory, Captain Bradford and the fallen Tex, who has been put to sleep by a ray gun. After a wall of water floods the corridor and drains away, Jerry and Joan slip out to look around. Commander Whiskers then appears and guides the group to a more isolated chamber, explaining that the Euclideans will be busy relocating the island and that the party has about three rotations of privacy. The group must make a plan of its own before the Euclideans turn their attention to them.

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.
