The Awful Reason of the Vicar's Visit is a mystery, especially when that most distressed reverend gentleman begins his tale of a monstrous outrage committed against him.

However, when Basil leaps at the cleric and demands to see him "without his whiskers!", both Charlie and Rupert believe he has finally taken leave of his peculiar senses!

Or is there a method to the vicar's mad tale that may link him to the Club of Queer Trades...

Stars David Warner as Basil Grant, Martin Freeman as Rupert Grant, Geoffrey McGivern as Charlie Swinburne, Richard Griffiths as Reverend Shorter, Alexei Sayle as James, Neil Edmond as Mowbray, Matthew Holness as Brett and Martin Hyder as the Constable.
