Arthur's night of entertainment in a Spanish bar goes off with a bang.

Liza Minnelli? A Spanish Elvis? Arthur opts to perform himself at his friend's Spanish bar. Stars Steve Delaney. From March 2012.

Arthur puts on en event in an ill friends Spanish bar. With Liza Minelli and a Spanish Elvis auditioning, Arthur can do nothing other than perform himself to make sure the night goes off with a real bang.

Count Arthur Strong - one time Variety Star, now sole proprietor and owner of Doncaster's Academy of Performance - is a show business legend, raconteur, and lecturer extraordinaire. He stars in a Sitcom with regular sidekick Wilfred Taylor, Master Butcher, and a host of other characters. 

All false starts and nervous fumbling, badly covered up by a delicate sheen of bravado and self-assurance, and an expert in everything from the world of entertainment to the origin of the species, everyday life with Arthur is an enlightening experience.
