Starring Les Dennis
Special guest star Joe Longthorne
Featuring Martin P. Daniels, Mark Walker, Lisa Maxwell, Bella Emberg and Jeffrey Holland
Also appearing CRAIG FERGUSON, GORDON KENNEDY, ALEX NORTON and the JEFF RICHER DANCERS

Les and Joe give Opportunity Knocks 1987 winners Rosser and Davies a run for their money. Lisa finds that her husband has become somewhat alien and far too nice. And there's more comedy adventure in The Twenty-Nine Steps.
Martin performs a unique card trick and special guest Joe Longthorne concentrates on impressions of famous women singers including his hugely popular take-off of Shirley Bassey.
