In second of this two-parter, Alex chats to Mark about Bleak Old Shops, repeatable skills and Dale Winton.

Mark also creates a character on the spot based solely on the made-up name given to him by the show’s previous guest in ‘Chain(ge) of Character’. This episode was recorded 12th February 2026.
