    The third volume of this magnificent, award-winning Dickensian comic epic first transmitted by the British Broadcasting Club's Radio 4. It's a Victorian epic of shenanigans at awful schools, worse prisons, featuring giant rabbits, and long lost super-hero aunts - in the style of Charles Dickens after far too much gin. Winner of the 'British Comedy Guide Editors' Award', volume three stars Anthony Head, Celia Imrie, Geoffrey Whitehead, Richard Johnson, Tom Allen, James Bachman and David Mitchell.

    Whew, had to wait FAR too long for volume 3 to appear.
    Just as good as the previous two series- give your laugh muscles a real good workout.
    Completely excellent and the funniest thing the BEEB have put out in years.

    A Victorian epic of awful schools inc the aptly named St Bastards, worse prisons, nuns at St Bitches, giant rabbits, and long lost super-hero aunts, in the style of Charles Dickens after far too much gin.

    Hi All.
    When I first heard this on Radio 4 , I was driving and nearly drove off the road laughing.
    I have series 1 & 2 and am eagerly waiting for series 3 to be released.
    Its now on my iPod and it makes me cry laughing - it is so funny & witty- get it & enjoy!
