2. Shoveleth in More Hazelnuts!
Brian, Guuuurk and Troy are condemned to death by the Romans for crimes against Interior Decoration. Can Dr Janussen persuade Quanderhorn to use the ziggurat to rescue them?
Professor Quanderhorn (James Fleet) and his rag-tag crew – test pilot Brian Nylon (Ryan Sampson), clockwork-emotioned Dr Gemini Janussen (Cassie Layton), caddish Martian hostage Guuuurk (Kevin Eldon) and Quanderhorn’s part-insectoid son Troy (Freddie Fox), along with factotum Jenkins (John Sessions) – have been scattered through time.
Reunited in Roman Britain, Brian, Guuuurk and Troy are trying to make their way to the rendezvous point in Londinium, when they find themselves arrested and condemned to death for crimes against Interior Decoration.
Can they escape with the help of Brian’s enormous mahogany phallus (don’t ask)?
Or will it require some slightly more subtle intervention from Dr Janussen?
