This month Andy and Alex review the nostalgia-fest that is the classic Pertwee tale The Daemons. Andy has prepared a devilishly difficult Daemons-themed quiz and some highly-relevant info on satanist Aleister Crowley, while Alex has Quatermass in mind and her time as a young Maypole-dancer at Alnwick Fair. The patriarchy rears its ugly head and the Brigadier apparently plays fast and loose with his knickers, but more importantly it is definitively established whether this story is pronounced Day-mons or Dee-mons! All this and the usual pop culture bites: Treasure Hunt with Anneka Rice, Topic and Boost chocolate bars, Meloids, and Lucky Ladders with Lennie Bennett. Now don't you go believing that Farage chap that he can give you whatever you need just because he doesn't have a pet gargoyle! Next Time: The Underwater Menace

Transcript:Sv: Det var en kall vintermorgon när Elof, Signe och Gustav stod vid den svenska kusten.En: It was a cold winter morning when Elof, Signe, and Gustav stood by the Swedish coast.Sv: Det gamla vikingaskeppet reste sig från isen och snön som ett bortglömt monument.En: The old viking ship rose from the ice and snow like a forgotten monument.Sv: Trät var grått och mossigt, och skrovet var delvis begravt i en snödriva.En: The wood was gray and mossy, and the hull was partly buried in a snowdrift.Sv: Ryktena sa att det fanns en skatt ombord.En: Rumors said there was treasure on board.Sv: En skatt som skulle vara förbannad.En: A treasure that was said to be cursed.Sv: Elof hade alltid varit fascinerad av nordisk mytologi.En: Elof had always been fascinated by Norse mythology.Sv: Hans ögon lyste av äventyr när han såg skeppet.En: His eyes shone with adventure when he saw the ship.Sv: Han ville verkligen hitta skatten, kanske mest för att imponera på Signe.En: He really wanted to find the treasure, perhaps mostly to impress Signe.Sv: Signe stod bredvid honom, skeptisk, men med en hemlig värme i hjärtat för Elof.En: Signe stood beside him, skeptical, but with a secret warmth in her heart for Elof.Sv: Gustav, alltid den förnuftiga, skakade på huvudet.En: Gustav, always the sensible one, shook his head.Sv: "Vi borde vända tillbaka", sa han.En: "We should turn back," he said.Sv: "Vädret blir värre, och tidvattnet stiger snart."En: "The weather is getting worse, and the tide will rise soon."Sv: "Vi måste ge det ett försök", insisterade Elof.En: "We have to give it a try," insisted Elof.Sv: "Det kan vara vår enda chans att bevisa att skatten finns."En: "This may be our only chance to prove the treasure exists."Sv: Skeppet var gammalt och tyst, som om det vaktade gamla hemligheter.En: The ship was old and silent, as if it guarded ancient secrets.Sv: De vandrade försiktigt runt på däcket, försiktiga för att inte väcka någon slumrande förbannelse.En: They walked carefully around on the deck, careful not to awaken any slumbering curse.Sv: Plötsligt skrek Signe till.En: Suddenly, Signe shouted.Sv: "Titta på det här!En: "Look at this!"Sv: ", sa hon och pekade på något som glimmade under snön.En: she said, pointing at something gleaming under the snow.Sv: Det var en märklig artefakt, dekorerad med vikingasymboler.En: It was a strange artifact, decorated with Viking symbols.Sv: När de lyfte den, blev vinden starkare och himlen mörkare.En: As they lifted it, the wind grew stronger and the sky darker.Sv: Gustav tittade oroligt på stormmolnen.En: Gustav looked worriedly at the storm clouds.Sv: "Vi måste gå nu", sa han med en röst som inte tålde motsägelse.En: "We have to go now," he said with a voice that didn't tolerate disagreement.Sv: Elof stod där med artefakten i händerna.En: Elof stood there with the artifact in his hands.Sv: Hans dröm var inom räckhåll, men något inom honom sa att Gustav hade rätt.En: His dream was within reach, but something inside him told him that Gustav was right.Sv: "Okej", sa han motvilligt.En: "Okay," he said reluctantly.Sv: "Vi lämnar skeppet."En: "We're leaving the ship."Sv: De sprang tillbaka över det hala däcket, vinden kämpade mot dem som om skeppet inte ville släppa dem.En: They ran back across the slippery deck, the wind fighting against them as if the ship didn't want to release them.Sv: När de nådde stranden kände de hur tidvattnet börjat stiga.En: When they reached the shore, they felt the tide starting to rise.Sv: Trion tog sig till säkerhet, och när de såg tillbaka, var skeppet nästan helt omslutet av vattnet.En: The trio made it to safety, and when they looked back, the ship was almost entirely enveloped by the water.Sv: Elof höll fortfarande artefakten.En: Elof still held the artifact.Sv: Det hade varit nära, men de hade klarat sig.En: It had been close, but they had made it.Sv: Signe log mot Elof.En: Signe smiled at Elof.Sv: "Du riskerade mycket för detta", sa hon.En: "You risked a lot for this," she said.Sv: "Men vi är alla oskadda."En: "But we're all unharmed."Sv: "Jag förstår det nu", sa Elof med en nyvunnen respekt för sina vänner.En: "I understand that now," said Elof with a newfound respect for his friends.Sv: "Vissa skatter är inte värda risken."En: "Some treasures aren't worth the risk."Sv: Gustav nickade, och de började gå tillbaka genom snön, med en gemensam känsla av lättnad och något mer mellan Elof och Signe.En: Gustav nodded, and they started walking back through the snow, with a shared sense of relief and something more between Elof and Signe.Sv: När vinden slutligen mojnade tittade de på artefakten, osäkra på vad de verkligen hade hittat.En: When the wind finally died down, they looked at the artifact, unsure of what they had truly found.Sv: Men en sak var säker: vännernas säkerhet var skatten som inte kunde mätas med guld.En: But one thing was certain: the safety of friends was a treasure that couldn't be measured with gold.Sv: Och någonstans i stormens avtagande mäktade trion med fler känslor än ännu en episod av vinterkylan.En: And somewhere amid the waning storm, the trio managed more emotions than just another episode of winter's chill.Sv: De lämnade stranden, inte rika av guld, men rika av något mycket bättre.En: They left the beach, not rich with gold, but rich with something much better.

Transcript:Nl: De lucht boven het Veluwe Bos was grijs, en sneeuwvlokken wiegden als veertjes naar beneden.En: The sky above the Veluwe Bos was gray, and snowflakes drifted down like feathers.Nl: Jasper en Tess stonden aan de rand van het bos, hun adem zichtbaar in de koude winterlucht.En: Jasper and Tess stood at the edge of the forest, their breath visible in the cold winter air.Nl: De wereld om hen heen was stil, op het verre geluid van Carnival trommels na.En: The world around them was silent, aside from the distant sound of carnival drums.Nl: Het was het perfecte moment voor hun avontuur.En: It was the perfect moment for their adventure.Nl: Jasper veegde wat sneeuw van zijn wollen muts en keek naar Tess met opwinding in zijn ogen.En: Jasper brushed some snow off his woolen hat and looked at Tess with excitement in his eyes.Nl: "Dit is het, Tess!En: "This is it, Tess!Nl: Hier moeten we beginnen met zoeken," zei hij, terwijl hij zijn wandelkaart omhoog hield.En: This is where we have to start searching," he said, holding up his hiking map.Nl: De kaart werd een beetje heen en weer gewaaid door de windvlagen.En: The map fluttered a bit in the gusts of wind.Nl: Tess knikte, haar gedachten ver in de verhalen van haar grootvader die ze vaak had gehoord over de schatten verborgen in deze bossen.En: Tess nodded, her thoughts far away in the stories of her grandfather that she had often heard about the treasures hidden in these woods.Nl: Ze liepen rustig tussen de majestueuze bomen, hun voetstappen kraakten in de verse sneeuw.En: They walked quietly among the majestic trees, their footsteps crunching in the fresh snow.Nl: "De cache is ergens hier, dat weet ik zeker," zei Jasper vastberaden.En: "The cache is somewhere here, I'm sure of it," said Jasper with determination.Nl: "Maar we moeten doorwerken voordat de storm ernstiger wordt."En: "But we need to keep going before the storm gets worse."Nl: Ondanks zijn opwinding voelde Jasper de urgentie om sneller te zijn dan de naderende sneeuwstorm.En: Despite his excitement, Jasper felt the urgency to be faster than the approaching snowstorm.Nl: Tess voelde een mengeling van angst en vastberadenheid.En: Tess felt a mix of fear and determination.Nl: Haar grootvader had haar verteld over de kostbare artefacten die hier ooit werden verborgen tijdens de oorlog, maar ook over de gevaren die hierin schuilgingen.En: Her grandfather had told her about the valuable artifacts that were once hidden here during the war, but also about the dangers lurking within.Nl: Ze bleef alerte, in gedachten verzonken over haar familiegeheimen.En: She stayed alert, lost in thoughts about her family's secrets.Nl: Na uren zoeken tussen bevroren takken vond Jasper een rare, driehoekige steen met inscripties.En: After hours of searching among frozen branches, Jasper found an odd, triangular stone with inscriptions.Nl: Hij knielde neer en verwijderde de sneeuw van de grond.En: He knelt down and cleared the snow from the ground.Nl: "Kijk, Tess!En: "Look, Tess!Nl: Dit moet het zijn, een aanwijzing!"En: This must be it, a clue!"Nl: riep hij uit.En: he exclaimed.Nl: Maar de sneeuwstorm werd sterker, de sneeuw plafond blies in hun gezichten en maakte het zicht onduidelijk.En: But the snowstorm grew stronger, the snow blew into their faces, making visibility unclear.Nl: Tess keek naar de lucht, ongerust.En: Tess looked at the sky, concerned.Nl: "Misschien moeten we terugkeren en het later opnieuw proberen," stelde ze voor.En: "Maybe we should go back and try again later," she suggested.Nl: Maar Jasper wilde niet opgeven.En: But Jasper didn't want to give up.Nl: "We hebben nu een kans, Tess.En: "We have a chance now, Tess.Nl: Wat als de sneeuw alles morgen bedekt?"En: What if the snow covers everything tomorrow?"Nl: De spanning tussen de twee groeide.En: The tension between the two grew.Nl: Maar Tess, wetend hoe gevaarlijk het bos kon zijn tijdens een storm, bleef vasthouden aan haar idee.En: But Tess, knowing how dangerous the forest could be during a storm, held onto her idea.Nl: "Als we nu doorgaan, kunnen we verdwalen.En: "If we go on now, we could get lost.Nl: Het is te riskant."En: It's too risky."Nl: Uiteindelijk, na een korte discussie, stemde Jasper met tegenzin in met haar beslissing.En: Eventually, after a short discussion, Jasper reluctantly agreed with her decision.Nl: Samen zochten ze naar beschutting, ruziënd met de wind tot ze een kleine holle eikenboom tegenkwamen.En: Together, they searched for shelter, battling the wind until they came across a small hollow oak tree.Nl: Daar wachtten ze tot de storm was gaan liggen, genietend van elkaars gezelschap en de warmte van het moment.En: There they waited for the storm to pass, enjoying each other's company and the warmth of the moment.Nl: Jasper begreep dat geschiedenis niet alleen ontdekkingen nodig heeft, maar ook respect en tijd.En: Jasper understood that history requires not only discoveries but also respect and time.Nl: Tess voelde zich blijkbaar vrijer om haar verhalen te delen, wetende dat die gekoesterd zullen worden.En: Tess felt apparently freer to share her stories, knowing they would be cherished.Nl: Toen de storm eindelijk voorbij was, keken ze naar buiten naar een wereld bedekt onder een serene, witte deken.En: When the storm finally passed, they looked outside at a world covered under a serene, white blanket.Nl: Ze besloten om samen terug te keren naar het dorp, met een vernieuwd plan en een wederzijds respect dat hun zoektocht richting zou geven.En: They decided to return to the village together, with a renewed plan and a mutual respect that would guide their quest.Nl: Hun avontuur was nog niet voorbij, maar hun vriendschap was onbreekbaar, net als de belofte van de terugkeer naar deze magische, verborgen plek.En: Their adventure wasn't over yet, but their friendship was unbreakable, just like the promise to return to this magical, hidden place.

The shopkeeper is not willing to sell it without the key," Neha expressed her concern.Hi: "नेहा, यह कितनी पुरानी चीज है! हो सकता है इसके अंदर कोई अनमोल खजाना हो," अर्जुन की आँखों में चमक थी।En: "Neha, this is such an ancient piece! There might be a priceless treasure inside," Arjun's eyes sparkled.Hi: संदूक का ताला खोले बिना अर्जुन मानने को तैयार नहीं था।En: Arjun was not ready to give up without unlocking the trunk.Hi: आखिरकार, अर्जुन ने उसे एक स्थानीय इतिहासकार के पास ले जाने का तय किया, जिसने उसे इसके बारे में जानकारी देने का वादा किया।En: Finally, he decided to take it to a local historian, who promised to provide information about it.Hi: चलते-चलते, उनकी नजर संदूक के नीचे एक छिपे हुए लेख पर पड़ी।En: As they were walking, they noticed a hidden inscription beneath the trunk.Hi: उसमें एक रहस्यमयी पैगाम लिखा था, जो एक प्राचीन मंदिर के एक गुप्त स्थान की ओर इशारा करता था।En: It contained a mysterious message pointing to a secret location in an ancient temple.Hi: वे तुरंत उस मंदिर की ओर बढ़े।En: They immediately headed towards the temple.Hi: मंदिर रंगीन झिलमिलाहट से भरा हुआ था।En: The temple was filled with colorful glimmers.Hi: वहाँ पहुँचकर एक खास स्थान पर सिक्का रखते ही एक गुप्त मार्ग खुल गया।En: Upon placing a coin at a particular spot, a secret path opened.Hi: अपनी उत्सुकता में वे अंदर की ओर बढ़े।En: Driven by curiosity, they proceeded inside.Hi: वहाँ एक प्राचीन कक्ष था, जो सदियों से छुपा हुआ था।En: There was an ancient chamber that had remained hidden for centuries.Hi: इस कमरे में बेशकीमती हस्तकला और चित्रकारी के नमूने थे।En: This room contained invaluable handicrafts and artistic paintings.Hi: अर्जुन की आँखें चमक उठीं।En: Arjun's eyes lit up.Hi: उसकी खोज रंग लाई थी।En: His search had yielded results.Hi: नेहा को यह देखकर सुकून मिला कि अर्जुन का जुनून वाकई कुछ खास था।En: Neha felt at ease seeing that Arjun's passion was truly special.Hi: इस अनुभव के बाद, अर्जुन ने नेहा की चिंताओं को समझना शुरू किया।En: After this experience, Arjun began to understand Neha's concerns.Hi: वह अब उसकी सलाह को महत्त्व देने लगा।En: He started to value her advice.Hi: दूसरी ओर, नेहा ने अर्जुन के इतिहास प्रेम को समझा और ऐसे अनुभवों का आनंद लेना सीखा।En: On the other hand, Neha understood Arjun's love for history and learned to enjoy such experiences.Hi: इसी तरह, जयपुर के इस सुंदर बाजार की एक और कहानी इन दोनों ने खुद के लिए रच दी।En: In this way, Jaipur's beautiful market became the setting for another story that they crafted for themselves.Hi: उनकी दोस्ती अब और भी गहरी हो गई थी, दोनों ने एक-दूसरे की दुनिया को समझने का नया नजरिया पाया।En: Their friendship deepened, and they found a new perspective to understand each other's world.

Fluent Fiction - Dutch: Bram's Winter Quest: Discovering Friendship's Hidden Treasure Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/nl/episode/2025-12-15-23-34-02-nl Story Transcript:Nl: Het was een koude winteravond in Amsterdam.En: It was a cold winter evening in Amsterdam.Nl: De stad schitterde in het licht van Sinterklaas.En: The city glistened in the light of Sinterklaas.Nl: Bram, een jonge man vol nieuwsgierigheid naar oude verhalen, zat samen met zijn vrienden Sofie en Max in een rondvaartboot op de grachten.En: Bram, a young man filled with curiosity about old stories, sat with his friends Sofie and Max on a canal boat in the canals.Nl: De lucht was scherp en helder, de feestelijke lichtjes weerspiegelden in het donkere water.En: The air was sharp and clear, the festive lights reflecting in the dark water.Nl: Terwijl de boot onder de verlichte bruggen doorgleed, staarde Bram uit over het water.En: As the boat glided under the lit bridges, Bram stared out over the water.Nl: Plots viel zijn blik op iets vreemds naast zich op de bank.En: Suddenly, his eyes fell on something strange next to him on the bench.Nl: Het was een oud, vergeeld stuk papier.En: It was an old, yellowed piece of paper.Nl: Zijn hart klopte sneller terwijl hij het voorzichtig openvouwde.En: His heart beat faster as he carefully unfolded it.Nl: Het was een kaart, getekend in complexe lijnen en vreemde symbolen.En: It was a map, drawn with complex lines and strange symbols.Nl: Er stond een kruis ergens midden in het centrum van de stad.En: There was a cross somewhere in the center of the city.Nl: "Sofie, Max, kijk eens!"En: "Sofie, Max, look!"Nl: zei Bram enthousiast.En: said Bram excitedly.Nl: "Ik denk dat dit een schatkaart is!"En: "I think this is a treasure map!"Nl: Sofie lachte en schudde haar hoofd.En: Sofie laughed and shook her head.Nl: "Bram, het is vast een grap.En: "Bram, it's surely a joke.Nl: Het is Sinterklaas, iedereen is in de stemming voor verhalen."En: It's Sinterklaas, everyone is in the mood for stories."Nl: Max keek op van zijn glühwein.En: Max looked up from his glühwein.Nl: "Ja, kom op Bram, laten we genieten van de feestdagen."En: "Yeah, come on Bram, let's enjoy the holidays."Nl: Maar Bram was te gefascineerd om het op te geven.En: But Bram was too fascinated to give up.Nl: Ergens voelde hij dat dit zijn kans was op avontuur.En: Somewhere, he felt that this was his chance for adventure.Nl: Die nacht, terwijl Amsterdam in feeststemming verkeerde, besloot hij weg te sluipen om het mysterie van de kaart te ontrafelen.En: That night, while Amsterdam was in a festive mood, he decided to slip away to unravel the mystery of the map.Nl: De aanwijzingen op de kaart leidden Bram door de kronkelige straatjes van de stad, onder met sneeuw bedekte bomen door en langs de drukke wintermarkten.En: The clues on the map led Bram through the winding streets of the city, under snow-covered trees and past the busy winter markets.Nl: Elke stap bracht hem dichter bij een antwoord dat hij niet kende maar hoopte te vinden.En: Every step brought him closer to an answer he didn't know but hoped to find.Nl: Hij stond uiteindelijk stil voor een oude brug.En: He eventually stopped in front of an old bridge.Nl: Onder de brug vond hij een verroeste oude kist, precies zoals de kaart had aangegeven.En: Under the bridge, he found a rusty old chest, just as the map had indicated.Nl: Met enige moeite kreeg hij de sloten van de kist open.En: With some effort, he managed to open the locks of the chest.Nl: Binnenin vond hij geen goud en juwelen, maar een verzameling oude brieven en kleine voorwerpen.En: Inside, he found no gold and jewels, but a collection of old letters and small objects.Nl: Verward en gefascineerd begon hij de brieven te lezen.En: Confused and fascinated, he began to read the letters.Nl: Het waren de verhalen van vrienden, van gedeelde avonturen en ontdekkingen, achtergelaten door iemand lang geleden.En: They were stories of friends, of shared adventures and discoveries, left behind by someone long ago.Nl: Elk stuk papier sprak van de waarde van vriendschap en avontuur, meer waardevol dan enige schat.En: Each piece of paper spoke of the value of friendship and adventure, more valuable than any treasure.Nl: Bram stopte de brieven voorzichtig terug in de kist.En: Bram carefully put the letters back in the chest.Nl: Hij voelde zich vreemd tevreden.En: He felt strangely content.Nl: Het avontuur zelf en de verbinding die zijn ontdekkingen onthulden hadden hem een nieuw perspectief gegeven.En: The adventure itself and the connections his discoveries revealed had given him a new perspective.Nl: De ware schat was nooit materieel geweest maar lag in de reis en in de mensen om hem heen.En: The true treasure had never been material but lay in the journey and in the people around him.Nl: Met een glimlach keerde hij terug naar zijn vrienden.En: With a smile, he returned to his friends.Nl: De feestelijke muziek en het gelach omarmden hem als een warme deken.En: The festive music and laughter embraced him like a warm blanket.Nl: Sofie en Max stonden te wachten met warme chocolademelk.En: Sofie and Max were waiting with hot chocolate.Nl: "En?"En: "And?"Nl: vroeg Sofie nieuwsgierig.En: asked Sofie curiously.Nl: "Heb je je schat gevonden?"En: "Did you find your treasure?"Nl: Bram knikte met een zachte glimlach.En: Bram nodded with a soft smile.Nl: "Ja," zei hij.En: "Yes," he said.Nl: "Meer dan je je kunt voorstellen."En: "More than you can imagine."Nl: Het was Sinterklaasavond, en terwijl de stad verder vierde, wist Bram dat hij niet alleen een schat had gevonden, maar ook zichzelf een beetje beter had leren kennen, omgeven door vrienden en een wereld vol wonderen.En: It was Sinterklaas evening, and while the city continued to celebrate, Bram knew that he had not only found a treasure but had also learned a bit more about himself, surrounded by friends and a world full of wonders.

Liu Wei looked at the two phones, still unsure.Zh: 两人接着在商城里转悠了一圈，张华耐心地解释各种套餐和功能。En: The two of them continued to wander around the mall, with Zhang Hua patiently explaining the different packages and features.Zh: 刘伟却依旧犹豫不决。En: Still, Liu Wei was indecisive.Zh: 他在想，是不是应该更仔细地研究一下再做决定。En: He wondered if he should research more thoroughly before making a decision.Zh: 走到结账台时，刘伟开始动摇。En: As they approached the checkout counter, Liu Wei began to waver.Zh: 他不禁担心自己会后悔。En: He couldn't help but worry he might regret his choice.Zh: 如果选择错误的手机，几乎要用整年才可能换新的。En: If he picked the wrong phone, it might be a year before he could get a new one.Zh: “刘伟，有时候听朋友的建议并不是坏事，”张华安慰他说，“你不能让自己陷在选择中，一直犹豫就不会前进。”En: "Liu Wei, sometimes listening to a friend's advice isn't a bad thing," Zhang Hua comforted him, "You can't just stay stuck in choice. If you keep hesitating, you won't move forward."Zh: 在张华的鼓励下，刘伟深吸了一口气，终于下定决心选了张华的推荐。En: Encouraged by Zhang Hua, Liu Wei took a deep breath and finally made up his mind to choose Zhang Hua's recommendation.Zh: 他意识到，有时候，依靠朋友的判断也是种智慧。En: He realized that sometimes relying on a friend's judgment is also a kind of wisdom.Zh: 最后，他们欢快地离开了电子商城。En: Finally, they left the electronic mall happily.Zh: 刘伟握着新手机，心情轻松了许多。En: Liu Wei held his new phone, feeling much more relaxed.Zh: 从此以后，他学会了在做决定时适度依赖朋友的意见，变得更加开放和信任。En: From then on, he learned to moderately rely on friends' opinions when making decisions, becoming more open and trusting.Zh: 商场外寒风呼啸，但刘伟的心变得温暖而宁静。En: Outside the mall, the cold wind howled, but Liu Wei's heart became warm and peaceful.
