The final episode in the saga of Thomas More and his devoted nightmare of a wife, Alice steps to the fore by going on a rampage at the Tower of London. Refusing to take the oath of personal loyalty to fat ginger tyrant Henry 8.0, the brave Sir Thomas More finds himself in a legal bind as honest Tommy Cromwell's net closes and he moves from questioning to imprisonment to trial to execution with admirable swiftness. Seasons pass, stag trips to Talinn are organised, tree privileges are revoked and tears are shed as martyrdom beckons. A speech in the mode of Fr. Ted rounds things off. Will Roper is also there.

Welcome back as we continue the epic story of Thomas More, a good and saintly man and Richard Rich, an untrustworthy stoat boy. Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, shouts everything he's just heard. Henry the Eighth jumps off his river barge to be a nightmare as he comes in, Miley Cyrus style, like a wrecking ball. Alice More takes 'waste not want not' to new levels and Meg exceeds her constitutional authority, Donald Trump style. Nixon appears (when does he not?!?) and there's one instance of the strongest possible language right near the end, left in to emphasise an important point, so careful around young ears.

Good Morrow, and Forsooth.

We return and this time we're on a collision course with Henry VIII and Thomas More, who are at loggerheads over the issue of D-I-V-O-R-C-E - and in the 16th century such a proposition was an even bigger P-A-L-A-V-E-R than it is today, especially when you're the fattest loudest ginger man to ever king it up. We meet talking sofas, wretched hairy stoats who want to be the Goblin King, and climb into bed with a battle axe. As if that wasn't enough,we witness Sir Tam getting 'canonised' the old fashioned way., take in a punt down the Thames and much 'More' besides!. Back by unpopular demand, no refunds. .
