This production will combine three episodes of the TV series:-
Belles – Everything is reasonably normal for Edmund, the bastard great-great-grandson of the repulsive original, and his dungball servant, and bird-brained dim-witted companion, till he meets Bob…
Money – Trouble is in store for Edmund when the baby-eating Bishop of Bath and Wells drops by unexpectedly and tries to shove a red-hot poker up places where a cotton bud would be kinder.
Chains – Edmund is slightly inconvenienced when a fat-headed German chamber-pot boxes him up in a chestful of iron spikes and leaves him to play charades with a crazed Spanish interrogator.
