They tried to kill it off, but this horror show will run and run/February 5th 2010.

Richie - Last night was the premiere of the operatic society's version of The Mikado with Mrs Bob No 3 playing the lead. In the name of "art" the action was set in the Gorbals but unfortunately things didn't go to plan. Disaster struck in Act 1 when Mrs Bob hit the high note of Three Little Maids (re-christened Three Little Knuckledusters in keeping with the Glaswegian theme). Her high-pitched shreik exploded a bulb, which in turn severed a supporting rope and collapsed the set, revealing the rotund form of Marcia Braithwaite (who was changing between scenes) in just knickers and suspenders. Rev. Pritchard rushed onto the stage in an attempt to conceal her modesty but lo and behold his skirts snagged on a nail, de-frocking his Simpsons boxer shorts and exposing his tiny parsonage for all to see. Of course a Tory dignitary blamed the whole affair on the immoral Zanu-Pol-Pottist Labour government but by this time I'd already escaped to the snug for a snifter or three! Chin up, I say!
