I think season 2 (Whisperer in Darkness) is missing from Spotify too, but the internet archive copy is good

If you're into HP Lovecraft - there's a brilliant dramatisation/reworking of his stories setup as a real investigative podcast called "The Lovecraft Investigations".

There are four seasons: 1, 3 and 4 are on BBC Sounds:

Yes I think we got lucky with the room, perhaps it was just a quiet period

Yes it was gastroenteritis, luckily she bounced back quite quickly!

United Kingdom, Dorset.

My 3 year old daughter was vomiting and not keeping liquids down. Phoned the non-emergency line and after a bit of a wait, spoke to them and went through the script.

Was told to go to A&E and we would be expected. After a short wait there, was led down to the children's ward and she was given a bed in her own room. She was put on a drip, had antibiotics and kept in overnight. By the end of the following day she was able to keep down water and some toast so was discharged.

Had a follow on call from a GP the next day, she was back to normal in a couple of days.

Cost: £0 (I contribute to the NHS through general taxation)

Electric screwdriver from Lidl (well, it was less than £20) - as a DIY novice/flat pack builder, it changed my life
