The Questers get a chance to kill Lord Darkness. But first they must win a talent contest.

The Questers get a chance to kill Lord Darkness, but first they must win a contest. Stars Stephen Mangan. From March 2013.

The Questers find themselves in possession of the magical Dagger of Razzak-Dar, which kills anyone it touches, and realise this might be a golden opportunity to use it on Lord Darkness. The problem is, Lord Darkness' castle is impenetrable.

Luckily, Lord Darkness is looking for a new bard to soothe his nerves, so decides to hold a talent contest so throws open the doors of his castle to welcome applicants.

If only one of the Questers had any musical or acting experience.
