It was a dark and dreary night in the small town of Royston Vasey. The rain was beating down as though it had a score to settle and there was an uncomfortable foulness hanging in the air. Out of the blackness emerged the snap of a whip and a heavy rumble of hoofs headed straight for the valley. As the sun reluctantly began to creep above the horizon, a horse drawn cart drew to a halt at the top of the hill and overlooked the unsuspecting inhabitants of the town.
“Simba, Pebble, Tikk-Tikk!", a painfully grating voice called out. Three small men scrambled out of the cart beckoning to their master. "Go and put a poster up in that shop."
"Yes, Papa Lazarou" they obediently responded in chorus.
"Tell them the circus is coming to town.”......
It’s series 2 of the League of Gentlemen and Papa Lazarou has come make you his wife!
