However the beast turns out to comprise bits of animals stolen from the Roundabout Zoo, so Edward's plan fails. To the horror of right wing vicar Bernice Woodall, Legz Akimbo, a theatre group whose motto is Put Yourself Inside a Child, arrive to perform a play about gays at the local primary school though the children are unimpressed and certain company members fall out. Having left sweets for the scarecrow in Farmer Tinsel's field - in which the farmer has imprisoned his wife's lover - the twins return home for Benjamin to baby-sit them. Their naughtiness leads Benjamin to accidentally kill the prize toads Harvey was hoping to enter for the Annual Croaker Parade. Stella and Charlie Hull have a meal at Luigi's restaurant, bickering about the man Stella brought back to their hotel on their holiday. Written by don @ minifie-1 See less
