How I Got Lost in Clouds of Witness by Dorothy L. Sayers
I have a confession to make, and while it might be slightly embarrassing for me, it will almost certainly be amusing for you.

Blake’s 7,000 decibels. It’s ToW Brian Blessed
Possibly the most atmospheric, perhaps one of the most essential and certainly the loudest episode of Blake’s 7. It's a typical Saturday afternoon, and the rain is slanting down from a blueless grey sky. Typical for us in the UK, anyway.
