Mum, Will You Shut Up Please Now You're Dead?

Tony meets wandering corpses and visits a deranged teenage sweetheart. Nick Revell's epic saga with Peter Gunn. From 1997.

Nick’s sister Jane is so upset over his return to the family fold after 10 years, that she suffers a severe nose bleed.

His mother is so upset that she falls down dead on the spot.

To cap it all, Tony's best friend Dave is now leader of the Morris Dancing Survivalist Militia.

It's high time our hero paid a visit to his teenage sweetheart, the Bronte obsessed Emily, who has waited patiently for his return.
