Zapped - Season 3
Season 3
James Buckley returns to star for a third season as Brian Weaver, the simple office worker transported to the fantastical land of Munty.
Series two ended in a cliff-hanger with Brian in chains and Paul Kaye's wizard Howell sent to Earth by mistake. The third series promises to be the most inventive and imaginative yet.
James Buckley is supported by other cast regulars Sharon Rooney, Kenneth Collard and Louis Emerick.

Barrel

Even worse, the deadly disease of Woodpox is sweeping through Munty and only Howell has the cure.
Book
Brian has found the magical amulet that can potentially send him home, but it doesn't work. Howell tricks him into getting a book from the oddly menacing Munty Library to help but things turn awkward when the book becomes overdue. Barbara's mother Cassandra comes to visit and takes a shine to Herman. Meanwhile Steg is mistaken for a goblin and finds himself cornered. Can Howell's bravery potion save the day?
Amulet
Brian joins the Munty Reserve Forces for the smart uniform and some easy money. It doesn't take long for his plan to unravel. Barbara finally gets into the Seers Guild and Steg joins a Dragon Spotting Society. The fact that a dragon hasn't been spotted in Munty in over 30 years doesn't dampen their enthusiasm. Meanwhile Howell has realised that there is something menacing lurking outside Munty and it's getting closer...

Their unlikely pairing became a true friendship as each offered a different insight into the crimes they unravelled.
