In a rare example of Who prescience, this story (made in 2001) revolves around the theft of Edvard Munch's painting The Scream. A partial sequel to The Genocide Machine, so again I found it a bit difficult to tell the difference between Bev and Ace; but I liked everything else about it, with Caroline John as the doomed grande dame in charge of festivities and Geoffrey Beevers playing the mysterious Mr Seta. (Who? Yes.) It's not easy to convey grand planetscapes and world-busting scenarios on audio, but I felt this succeeded. (The reprises at the start of each episode were surprisingly long though.)

A motley crew of people start building Austin as the Texas capital following the Revolution. There are problems with the Comanches, the Cherokees, the usual no-good lying snakes, and the Texas Rangers, who are only as good as they must be. Told in a rather laconic tone, with lots of gore, violence, rape, chicanery amid people trying to do the right thing. There are enough historical people (Sam Houston, Big Foot Wallace) to make me, with not much knowledge of Texas history, wonder about some of the others. Read for Spring Challenge 15.4
