We tried with all our might to fit in more recording sessions and finish series 1 before new COVID restrictions kicked in at the end of 2020, but in the end, we just couldn't manage it. So, instead, we're taking a break, until we can all get together again and bring you the second half of series 1 that you deserve. We'll be back later in 2021 with series 1, part 2.But we're not just leaving you in the lurch.
