Half an hour of the unique wit, humour, and satirical observations of Dave Allen.

Before history began, there was a time of dark magic and high honour. It was a time in need of a hero - he must triumph where others have perished - before the might of the Jun Horde and the cruel high priest Maax. As allies he has the eyes and talons of an eagle, the strength of a black tiger and his own courage. Dar is that hero - the Beastmaster.
