In 'Shiaght Laa' there's a bit of information to be gleaned about John Kewley Ward (1819-1910) and the Reverend John Quine (1857-1940). There are twelve questions for us again in 'Jamys Jeheiney', with James Harrison looking at four topics - bones; dirigibles; jewellery; and tobacco. There's a special guest in 'Goll as Gaccan' and Rob Teare tells us some old sayings in Manx - but we hear two words from Phil Gawne at the end of it. We hear the first part of a story in translation into Manx in 'Claare ny Gael'. It's called 'Escape!' and it was written originally in English by an American called Mike Scofield. There wasn't a recording of John Gell reading out a part of 'Paradise Lost' in 'Traa dy Liooar' this time. The next time, perhaps.
