From the team that brought you 'The haunted

Commode' (pictured), and 'The mystery of St

Finnigan's Elbow', prepare for another spoof-tastic

treat. The setting is Tudor England. King humphrey

VIII is on the throne and our cast is assembled in a

coaching inn on a remote Suffolk highway. The

hostelry’s full of Thomas Crudwell’s spies (often

spying on each other!) and down the road at Stoat

hall, Baron Belcham is desperately trying to marry

off his three daughters. Expect ruffs, ruffians, furry

mammals and laughs galore!
