Episode Notes

This episode was released in its original form as Episode 193. The extended version has an intro from Ben explaining what's going on with the re-release. Although introduced as part 5 of the Theo Philes, and numbered as such, this is actually the 6th instalment (and the 11-and-a-half-th) due to a simple slip up. The original episode description is: “The Theo Philes are back baby, and in a big way! This episode: the US Army hiding underneath the ice in Greenland, and inventors being killed in the funniest, most tragic way an inventor can be killed.”
