'But why keep me in the dark, Holmes?' 'It saves electricity, Watson.' (Hound of the Baskervilles); Welcome to the world of classic adventure stories, hilariously retold by the much loved, legendary comic Spike Milligan. Relive Robin Hood, in which Little John becomes Big Dick and the Merry Men are joined by Groucho Marx. Give yourself the willies with Frankenstein, who comes to life craving a cigarette. Join Sherlock Holmes for The Hound Of The Baskervilles, where Guinness and Newcastle Brown are taken intravenously and a woman cries in the night. Thrill to Black Beauty as told by the horse itself. And hunt for buried treasure with Long John Silver, Jim Hawkins, and...Groucho Marx in Treasure Island.
