A Happy Life Broken and Then Mended a Bit
In Mark Evans's Dickensian spoof, is a Martian invasion the ultimate test for Pip? Stars Tom Allen. From September 2008.
You're cordially invited to cower before the terrifying spectacle of the Martian invasion, where only Pip and some geese stand between Mr Benevolent's army of long-eared purple space villains and all that is good and true....
The final chapter of the Victorian comic epic, and the whole planet is in terrible danger when Pip's evil ex-guardian Mr Gently Benevolent summons a massive Martian invasion. Is this the end for Pip, Harry and the rest of the human race? And will Pippa's goose sanctuary be all right?
