The Curse of the Claw
21 March 2019
Palin and Jones make another spoof. A country house, a randy butler and a curse.

Sir Kevin Orr and the butler both miss his late wife. When an expedition to India that has lots its way knock on his door late one rainy night. Orr sees that as a sign, the tribe from Naga Hills in Burma could lift a curse.

Orr received the Sacred Claw as a child by his uncle Jack who warned that unless it is returned to the Naga Hills before his sixtieth birthday, the curse will kill him.

This instalment has repressive parents who see sex in everything. A mucky uncle who carries all the diseases known to man and a ship's mate who has two lumps of fat growing in his chest. She had no idea what they were!

A humorous edition but not outstanding. The crew of the ship who were all 'men' were easy on the eye. There was a nice timey wimey twist at the end.
