Ronnie Barker tackles a succession of characters to exhibit his significant comic acting talent, each set in a different time period.

From scandal in Victorian high society to a near-blind removal man working on the day of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth's coronation, and a future in which humour and laughter is the national religion, tales vary from the dark to the farcical and the downright surreal.
