A man who is an accountant but wants to be a lion tamer; a young man who has left the grubby sprawl of London to pursue a glamorous life in coalmining. In one particular sketch, a tall, long-faced man claims that he has bought a dead bird from a pet shop. I've never seen anything like it! Oh, wait.....
