Michael Palin, of outrageous, off-the-wall Monty Python, is the guiding force and star of Even More Ripping Yarns. Set in the last glorious decades of the British Empire, this zany collection of three wickedly funny tales taken from the BBC series shows no mercy as it takes on English legends, culture and society. They'll simply rip you with laughter.

Roger of the Raj - Roger Bartlesham is the spoiled son of immensely wealthy parents. At the outbreak of WWI, his father, master of the 18 course breakfast, is posted to India. Here, Roger goes from being merely a boy, to becoming an older boy.

Murder at Moorstones Manor - The family of Sir Clive Chiddingfold, who lost part of his brain in the Sudan uprising, visits sprawling Moorstones Manor and steps into chilling murder. Agatha Christie always wished she'd written this one!

Across the Andes by Frog - In this exotic tale, one man and a bucket of slime battles a world of fear, superstition and delightful primitive lust, coming out on top and on the bottom.
