A Recovery All Made Miserable
Poorly Pip faces rural poverty and a mystery nurse. Mark Evans's Dickensian spoof stars Anthony Head. From August 2008.
The thrilling Victorian comic epic sees young Pip nursed to health by the Reverend Fecund and his daughter Ripely, but why must her face remain hidden?
Witness the horrors of the rural poor in the stricken parish of Poverty Saint Mary.
But will Pip choose to fight against the injustice of it all in Parliament, where the walls are soaked in brandy, and so are the MPs, or will he follow his heart, just as soon as he can work out what it is saying to him?
Meanwhile Harry has developed the steam-powered Pippa detector.
But will it work?
Mark Evans's epic comedy in the style of Charles Dickens.
