Talk:Ectoplasm (radio show)

Most of this can probably be described as original research, but I've found almost no published (reliable) information other than what's in the external links. The rest is simply my attempt to impartially describe what's in the shows. There's a review at SteamPunk: http://steampunk.wildwinter.net/index.php?page=132&record_id=28 Wocky 17:59, 6 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I have copies of the show, but misplaced the CD that contained it. I tried starting an article article on this a while ago but had the same problem finding sources besides the show itself and the BBC Listen Again website. If it helps it's currently airing Mondays on BBC 7. Hewinsj 19:49, 20 August 2007 (UTC)


 * There is very little to go on about the show, so the original poster’s comment about original research is understood, but the assertion that it is influenced by “Hitchhiker’s” seems to stretch that concession a mite too far: it’s a post-HHGG radio comedy, so there may be some general indirect influence, but beyond that it doesn’t seem to have any particular fealty to that as a source - it’s punning nonsense exchanges, and breaking the fourth wall (characters hearing/ instigating sound effects) are pretty much a staple on “The Goon Show” and “News Huddlines”, for example, but I wouldn’t say that they were a source.Jock123 (talk) 11:42, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Episode titles…
It probably is worth mentioning that some on-air episode titles and those used in listings differ. While Episode 1 is called “The Curse of Tutuncommon” in listings and on-line, the announcer at the start says it is “The Curse of the Mummy’s Curse”. Episode 2 is “The Adventure of the Missing Lost Soul” on air, and “The Case of the Missing Lost Soul” in listings. Episode 3 is the same in both, and I don’t have Episode 4 to check.
