with Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe, Spike Milligan

In the little Sussex hamlet of Milton Street 'twixt Alfriston and Polegate, word spread among the villagers that the end of the world was at hand. Henry Crun, the gouty old village alchemist, had seen a strange phenomenon through his telescope. Then, on the night of Tuesday, January 11, 1801, the Long Man of Wilmington disappeared. It was a night that never ended - darkness completely enveloped Milton Street for more than fifty hours. The villagers said the sky had fallen, but Mistress Bannister, an old trot from Pevensey Marshes, knew better. She had foreseen it all in her readings of the pitchblende.
