Beyond a Joke, a comedy by Derek Benfield

A comedy by much-loved English actor Derek Benfield

At Andrew and Jane's country house, a number of people have died in unfortunate and embarrassing circumstances. Future son-in-law Geoff, unaware of the house's reputation, misunderstands a conversation and gets the idea that the deaths are due to something more sinister.

When the local Vicar decides to visit for tea, Geoff feels it is his duty to protect him at all costs. Meanwhile, after the discovery of two more bodies, Jane and her sister-in-law persuade Andrew to keep up appearances by hiding the evidence, with the use of their wheelbarrow! Geoff is almost persuaded that he has been mistaken, however the unexpected arrival of his parents only add to his and everyone else's problems . . .

Cast: Sandra Thompson, Carl Smith, Mark Wilson, Amy Maclaine, Robyn Donnelly, Garry Jenkin, Michelle Robinson and David Blakey.
