Kinetic meets Fawlty Towers in a comedy on teeth, bones and nutrition
Kinetic meets Fawlty Towers in a comedy on teeth, bones and nutrition“Cripes Hester Fillacavity’s hotel is well wierd! Mind you – so are guests.
That rubbish actress Flossie Hargreaves is here complaining about the food-free menu – I mean it’s only like that for the good of her own teeth.
The archaeologist Mr Bones is kind-of sweet but he’s gone and lost his pet tarantula which has scared everyone.
And I’ve got a bad feeling about that cockney geezer with a false moustache from Renta-Denture so I only hope the combo of him, a ruby ring, that missing spider and a skeleton don’t make things go bump in the night!”
