Episode 5 of 6

JB Morton's whimsies as performed by Richard Ingrams, Patricia Routledge, John Sessions and John Wells. From April 1989.

Lady Cabstanleigh holds a party, Mrs McGurgle gets into an argument, Chief Inspector Blunderton follows up a few leads, and Justice Cocklecarrot has to contend with the antics of the Filthistan trio.

Richard Ingrams, John Wells, John Sessions and Patricia Routledge recreate the world of the JB Morton.

Running in the Daily Express from 1924 to 1975 鈥� JB Morton鈥檚 surreally comic 鈥楤eachcomber鈥� column paved the way for a great deal of modern humour.

Adapted by Michael Barfield with Richard Ingrams.
