“It took God six days to create the heavens and the earth...and Monty Python ninety minutes to screw it up.”
Life's questions are 'answered' in a series of outrageous vignettes, beginning with a staid London insurance company which transforms before our eyes into a pirate ship.

The world's most voracious glutton brings the art of vomiting to new heights before his spectacular demise.
