A Restoration Re-Ruined Only Even Worse

Pip is in debt, but has he found true love at last? Dickensian spoof stars Richard Johnson, Anthony Head. From August 2008.

As the Victorian comic epic continues, Pip finds himself heavily in debt when he has to bribe the whole of the House of Commons not to hang him.

But has he found true love at last in the form of wealthy Southern belle Talullah Not-A-Man?

Or is it some sort of fiendishly subtle plot hatched by an evil villain in a frock.

Mark Evans's epic comedy in the style of Charles Dickens.
