Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty : Watch her sleep with the entire cast!

Christmas 2001

After a visit to the "old-woman-that-lives-in-a-shoe fertility clinic", the King and Queen of Pantoland (which bears a striking resemblance to Bristol) have a child that they call Belladonna. She is blessed by the druids to be beautiful, bright and good in a fight, but the wicked witch of the east end turns up at the christening and, with the aid of her magic carrot, curses the princess to death...

How can the Princess survive? Will the Bishop of Stoke be any help or just get in the way? Why have we yet to meet the male leads? Where is Dobbin the greatest tap-dancing horse in the world? What has a quest for the perfect pub got to do with it? And how can Funk help save the world? You'll just have to see the video, won't you?
