A body is found on the Circle Line, wearing full dress uniform. It is identified as Reginald Colville – a man who was certified dead some six weeks ago! In an attempt to solve the mystery Jago and Litefoot become unwilling bodysnatchers... And thus begins a chain of events that will pit them against killer Bulgars and the mysterious machinations of the Far-Off Travellers Club...
1.3 The Spirit Trap
Written by Jonathan Morris
Directed by John Ainsworth
Featuring Janet Henfrey and Lex Shrapnel
Ellie Higson believes that spiritualist Mrs Vanguard can hear the voices of the dead, but Henry Gordon Jago thinks it’s all superstition and theatrical trickery.

Jago and Litefoot investigate... and find themselves facing a deadly foe from the afterlife.
1.4 The Similarity Engine
Written by Andy Lane
Directed by Lisa Bowerman
When Jago takes a tumble on an unseasonably icy road, he ends up in hospital. But this is no ordinary medical establishment, and the patients are suffering from no ordinary illnesses. At last, the fiendish scheme of Dr Tulp is drawing to its cataclysmic climax. The Similarity Engine is operational. And a new, improved model of mahogany murderers have been unleashed...
