Lord Darkness loses a teapot - and a high priest.

Lord Darkness loses a teapot - and a high priest. Fantasy comedy starring Alistair McGowan and Sanjeev Bhaskar. From December 2010.

The Questers continue their search for the Sword of Asnagar. This time they accidentally trespass upon grounds of the Emperor Jackie. 

Jackie claims to have the Sword of Asnagar but he'll only hand it over if the Questers, and particularly Penthiselea, stay with him for a while.

In the meantime, Lord Darkness' main evil priest, Gaydok, is upset - he doesn't believe Darkness is evil anymore. In a fit of pique Darkness fires him. 

But it's not long before he realises that keeping the faith with the evil hordes isn't as easy as he originally thought... 

Fantasy-based sitcom set in Lower Earth written by Anil Gupta and Richard Pinto.
