Are You Sure There's No Body There..?
    farce 3m 4f full length
   
  Det Sergeant Fickey

a stupid policemen

Subtitled "The Legend of the 'eadless 'orseman", this sequel can be performed in its own right or by groups who have performed the original.

It uses the same setting, Squire Grange, and most of the characters, but tells of how the bumbling police are investigating stolen racehorses, meaning Fickey and Eve have to go under cover to investigate the crime.

It's not long before Inspector Sides gets too close and is trampled to death by the Headless Horseman that haunts the grounds of Squire Grange, except, well, she's not had a good part recently and refuses to die.

Eve and Fickey are ordered to disguise themselves as a racehorse, except the drama group's last production was Ali Baba and the only costume they can find is a makeshift pantomime camel!

The comedy stays down at the same level - oh yes it does - and the crime gets er…. Well, forgotten really.
