Great Episode!

Wonderful to hear Gilbert & Sullivan performed instead of watching local oddballs dressed in medieval costumes finishing each other off, or drowning enemies in vats of wine!! Beautifully performed by very talented & experienced theatrical performers! Great music, great voices, great costumes made this very entertaining! Loved hearing the long appreciated production again!

What fun to see so many familiar faces involved in the performance! Kevin Whately was a lovely treat as a singer! Missed seeing Lewis; so pleasant to hear & see him again! Complex plot sorted itself out well! Very enjoyable episode for us!
