Day 8

Episodes:
 * Day 8, Part 1: The Time is Out of Joint
 * A busy day has an unpromising beginning. Adrian Ward may now be the proud master of the Midwinter Hill Centre for Integrated Science - but he's still not allowed in, for reasons that may be especially sinister. That's bad enough; worse still, the new Vice-Chancellor is once more losing time... Listen now.
 * Day 8, Part 2: Among the Lowest of the Dead
 * Who's a Vice-Chancellor to trust? Adrian Ward has long suspected that the infamous Sir John "Black Jack" Holborn is plotting to kill him. To find that the man is not only in Aldergate, but apparently conspiring with the Chief Constable, comes as quite a shock ... almost as much as his long-delayed reunion with Samantha Brayden, under the strangest and most tragic of circumstances. Listen now.
 * Day 8, Part 3: Sir Adrian Views the Body
 * The investigation into Sammie's murder is not going well. Deep in a sub-basement of the Wetherby Medical Center, Aldergate's own are conducting a private examination of the severed legs discovered in Gambrel College. Adrian Ward has his own investigation to worry about - and seeing what remains of his old pal results in more questions than answers. Listen now.


 * Day 8, Part 4: If You Can't Keep Your Head
 * There's more to life than murder, and Adrian Ward has business to attend to. The Acclamation of the Vice-Chancellor ought to be the last step in the elaborate ritual to confirm him in his new job. As Baz leads him on a whirlwind tour of Aldergate's thirty Colleges, he's in a race against the clock - and what little time he has, his ever-unreliable brain keeps stealing. Listen now.
 * Day 8, Part 5: Scenes from a Hostile Takeover
 * The conspiracy against Adrian Ward grows ever more sinister - or at least, more confusing, as he himself appears to have joined the conspirators. Somebody has sabotaged his Acclamation - and, thanks to the intervention of OtherWard, he remains uncertain of how, why, or what's to be done about it. Listen now.
