Story
Light yourself a hammock for our story begins onboard Britain's largest battleship, the 1902 HMS Boxer , where a broadcast of their favourite programme, Variety Awash, is now in progress. Old jokes ahoy! (And that was nothing like an old joke). But music-hall comic Hairy Seagoon can't stop Captain Jim 'Bilge' Moriarty's piracy and the ship is swiftly flying the w:Jolly Roger. Crash landing on a desert island could save them but there are cannibals about. And they're threatening to put Bluebottle inside. Inside what? Inside them!
