CaskheadsEp.8: I'll take a Tamdhu. Hold the "E"So we're back I apologies we are a week (and a day) behind schedule but in my defence I (Jordan) was ill and editing is best done when you can concentrate without falling asleep.

CaskheadsEp. 15. The shaving of the caskSimilar to Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew this episode we trick a nobleman, no we don't but it does start with a lot of jump cuts around a lot of tangents, which are kind of like scene changes so we might as well stick with this motif while we're here.
