Welcome back to the Manor! Although we took it a bit easy in November, a couple of those episodes were in-depth.  But along with the berserker spooky season schedule of October and some decently in-depth episodes in December, and then the more-or-less full Tolkien and Led Zeppelin episodes earlier this month, as well as a couple of bouts of Indonesian Junk... we needed a bit of an easy episode.
