Series 1
1. Episode One
Thursday 8th October 2020
The adventure begins when Cassie and Amanda unearth a recording of mysterious happenings in a rural English village. After checking out the local hospitality (some good, some decidedly bad) Cassie finds herself in the kind of paranormal encounter she's always dreamed of, alongside a mysterious government agent, Glen. However, Cassie's excitement soon turns into a fight for her life.
2. Episode Two
Thursday 8th October 2020
Back in the village, Cassie's encounters of the previous night bring her face to face with an enraged local, who believes she's a dark agent of a global conspiracy. Glen is determined to keep Cassie away from the evidence she stumbles across, but Cassie has other ideas. Meanwhile, the creatures Glen and Cassie encountered hatch a plan and Amanda embarks on a trip with a passenger who is not what she seems.
3. Episode Three
Thursday 8th October 2020
Cassie and Glen try to contain the fallout of their argument - with further arguments. Unsurprisingly, this plan proves less than effective and something terrifying gains a foothold in our world. Amanda and her 'friend' wreak havoc in a motorway service station, leaving Amanda dependent on her breaking and entering skills. Cassie & Glen's plight only gets worse when a new visitor arrives at the pub.
4. Episode Four
Thursday 8th October 2020
Glen's boss, the fearsome Commander Hazel Quite, has arrived in Dorset and her nose for trouble convinces her all is not as it seems. Cassie and Glen are at odds (again) about what exactly to tell her, especially as a dangerous entity is now at large. En route to the village, Amanda finds she's hooked up with the worst fellow travelers she could possibly have picked.
5. Episode Five
Thursday 8th October 2020
With Glen's loyalty compromised and Cassie powerless under Quite's gaze, the situation is already tense. But when a strange killing takes place near the village, can the team set aside their differences long enough to catch the culprit before its plan is complete? Despite Quite's fury, Cassie can't seem to keep her mouth shut nor her expertise hidden.
6. Episode Six
Thursday 8th October 2020
With Cassie's plan in place, a stakeout is organised at various points around the countryside, involving the very worst possible pairings of people stuck in cars together. New knowledge about the enemy gives everyone more reason to be afraid, and the full weirdness of battling an interdimensional creature emerges. Amanda's research reveals they may all have been looking in the wrong direction, and Cassie's rivals, The X-Guys, start an investigation of their own.
7. Episode Seven
Thursday 8th October 2020
Suddenly a terrible threat begins to advance across the countryside with an unlikely 'army' in tow. Cassie and Glen split up, and a captive Cassie must improvise - with the aid of a drunken farmer and the pub landlady. The enemy's ability to manipulate time, space and perception threatens to envelop Glen unless he can use some skills he's learned from Cassie. Meanwhile, Quite is hiding something.
8. Episode Eight
Thursday 8th October 2020
Realising the full magnitude of the threat to the world as we know it, our heroes head to the building at the centre of it all. But are they running into a trap? And has the dissolution of reality itself already begun? With the physics of our world already unraveling, can Cassie & Glen outwit an enemy that can see everything? Will the do-or-die ingenuity of Cassie and the selflessness of Glen save us all? Maybe, if they can just work together.
