Blinking and stumbling from the very back of Plato’s cave and struggling all the way Danny and Mike are back groping towards the light. As Danny refuses to acknowledge the eternal forms, preferring the comfortable shadowy life he is more familiar with, Dr Mike seeks to establish himself as a Philosopher King ruling over the cast with benevolent yet iron fisted authority.

See all this and the trains running on time. Move along citizen or prepare for a visit from the Auxiliaries
