Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe and Spike Milligan in 'The Phantom Head Shaver' (of Brighton)
During the hot summer of 1898, Mr. and Mrs. Nugent Dirt were just one of many honeymooning couples enjoying the bracing air of Brighton. Then, one torrid night, like a bolt from the blue the Phantom Head Shaver struck, and Mr. Dirt woke up - bald! Prunella, his wife, summoned him for concealing his baldness during courtship, and the great Q.C., Hairy Seagoon, was briefed for the defence. No sooner had he arrived on the scene than the dreaded Phantom struck again! This time the victim was Mr. Seagoon. As the court case dragged on the Head Shaver struck again and again - fifty times - until Brighton became a city of terror. The Military flung a cordon round the district leaving only one exit at Haywards Heath, and it was there, in a lonely railwayman's hut, that the fearless Hairy Seagoon finally came to grips with the dreaded 'Shaver.'
