The South Downs is a one hundred mile long ridge of chalk laid down in the cretaceous period. Chalk is the remains of single celled creatures that drifted through the oceans around 140 to 66 million years ago. It makes up most of south east England and is a relatively young rock, but travel north and west and the geology of the UK gets much older. The science of geology deals with these huge time spans by creating aeons, eras, periods and epochs. But geology is not static. Change is everywhere. The world is not made up of things, only processes.

Thanks to Tim for some beautifully volcanic guitar.

FIND OUT MORE AT THE BIG FINISH WEBSITE: https://bgfn.sh/2nr

In Victorian England, the Great Detective, Madame Vastra, her resourceful spouse, Jenny Flint, and their loyal valet, Strax, solve conundrums, fight injustice and capture criminals - but a shapeshifting enemy is moving against them...

Hunting down their foe amid London society, Vastra is driven to distraction, and the Gang ousted from their home - before a final confrontation!

2.10 I Married a Shapeshifter by Alan Ronald
The Gang visit an old friend in a haunted mansion. Miss Faversham is suffering a mysterious malady, and her engagement to the curious Lord Briar convinces Vastra she can scent the enemy...

As Jenny helps supernatural investigator Harriet Cross catch a ghost, they discover something far more dangerous loose inside the walls of Briar Hall.

2.11 A Passion for Fashion by Helen Goldwyn
Society ladies are losing their fortunes and growing mortally sick - apparently infected by insatiable desire for the designs of enigmatic hat-maker, Monsieur Declerq.

With the help of a shop-girl, the Gang uncover rivalry in the fashion world and a dark trade in cruel importation. They also find that Monsieur Declerq is much more than a flamboyant fashionista.

2.12 The Final Poblom by Lauren Mooney & Stewart Pringle
The villainous trespasser has finally succeeded in banishing the Paternosters from their home, using the most powerful weapon in his arsenal: the bailiffs.

Stuck in a seedy boarding house, the Gang soon realise something else is afoot. Things are going missing. Something is munching its way through London, and it may be the answer to all their problems...
