"It is ten days in to our tail. It is getting quite dark (December does that). Will Pip and the Gang get out of this one alive 😱 🐭 #ChristmouseTail 10:1

"So here we leave our brave Mouse Friend. Will he survive the #ChristmouseTail 9:7"

“With respect, Your Highness, none of that makes much sense,” Pip said bravely #ChristmouseTail 9:6

Roderick hesitated. “Well… not… really. But the Sheriff says we must punish anyone who gives cheese or anything else to the poor mice, especially the Church ones. Why are Church Mice always poor?” #ChristmouseTail 9:5

Roderick wrung his paws. “You shouldn’t be here. The Sheriff says visitors are a distraction.” Pip eyed him carefully. “Do you want a war?” #ChristmouseTail 9:4

“Lord Gob?” he stammered, “Lady Pipula? And… other creatures?” “We prefer Cheese Detectives,” Toothpick mumbled. Roderick wrung his paws. “You shouldn’t be here. The Sheriff says visitors are a distraction.” #ChristmouseTail 9:3

Pip stepped forward, heart hammering. “We’re here to talk.” The rats parted just enough for a tall figure to squeeze through. King Roderick. #ChristmouseTail 9:2

Things are hotting up, or is it cooling down? Nobody here to take you through the next part of our story #ChristmouseTail 9:1

The PA is very unreliable at the time we (make that me) have chosen to share our story. Soooo, tonight we will broadcast two nights worth..... #ChristmouseTail

"So there we leave it. Will Pip 'Hood' be able to negotiate with the Rats? Join us tomorrow to see if he is more successful than them lot trying negotiate wiv President Vlad" #ChristmouseTail 9:9

Pip stepped forward, heart hammering. “We’re here to talk.” #ChristmouseTail 9:8

A cluster of tiny eyes glimmered ahead. Then more. And more. Rats. Dozens of them. They blocked the path like a living barricade, whiskers twitching, paws spread wide #ChristmouseTail 9:7

The tunnel smelled of damp earth, old stone, and something faintly nutty. “That’s rat territory,” Amos whispered. Lady Pipula moved her ears to the front. “They know we’re here, listening.” #ChristmouseTail 9:6

“This way,” she called “I can hear the main passage echoing like a kettle.” Pip followed close behind, paws silent. Toothpick marched confidently, torch beam bobbing. Lord Gob strode at the rear, cloak swishing proudly, ready to pounce at a moment’s notice #ChristmouseTail 9:5

Night had settled over Nottingham like a soft black cloak. Gobblethorne Hall slept. But the Cheese Detectives did not #ChristmouseTail 9:4

In the the clatter and warmth of Gobblethorne Hall’s kitchens, plans began to unfold, plans that would take them deep below Nottingham, where shadows whispered, cheese vanished, and the Sheriff of Nottingglum ruled with a ladle of iron #ChristmouseTail 9:3

Toothpick gulped. “No one said anything about the dark.” Lady Pipula's eyes gleamed in the firelight. “Gather your courage, Cheese Detectives.” #ChristmouseTail 9:2

"Nobody here. Are you ready for a nighttime adventure with Pip and his friends? Do you have paws to hide behind? You are going to need them!" #ChristmouseTail 9:1

Rats, dark, VERY dark tunnels and an evil Sheriff. Nothing could wrong for the Harchcheese Detectives - could it? Join us tomorrow as Pip, Toothpick and Amos go undercover and underground. #ChristmouseTail 8:9

“This is for the rats,” he said. “A peace offering. And a distraction. Even the Sheriff pauses for cauliflower cheese.” Pip passed the dish to Toothpick . “Right...tunnels, rats and Sheriff.” #ChristmouseTail 8:8
