  1. Waaattt? No comments for Zardoz? I love this episode. More people should listen to it.

  2. I am Arthur Frayn, and I am Zardoz.
    I have lived 300 years and I long to die,
    but death is no longer possible
    I am immortal.
    I present now my story,
    full of mystery and intrigue,
    rich in irony and most satirical.
    It is set deep in a possible future,
    so none of these events has been occurred
    But they may
    Be warned, lest you end as I

  3. For a long time, the choice of the orange "diaper" and bandolier eluded me. Then, it came to me. Google: buddhist monk--images. Mystery solved.
