Michael Williams stars as 1940s comic Robb Wilton as if he had been around in 1986. Can the eternal pessimist find work?

Robb Wilton (1881 - 1957) was one of the most popular music hall and radio comics of the 1930s and 1940s.

Michael Williams stars as Robb Wilton - making as little sense out of life as he did 40 years before...

Written by Allen Saddler.
