The epic Victorian comedy series written by Mark Evans is back with more of the remarkable
adventures of Pip Bin. He battles his evil ex-guardian Mr Gently Benevolent in six more
chapters of plots, disguises, inventions, escapes, tragedies and triumphs in the style of
Charles Dickens after a drop too much gin.
The third series begins several years after
the death – for the second time – of Mr Benevolent. All seems well as Pip Bin
enjoys fame and wealth for his hugely popular invention, the bin, until...
A Lovely Life Re-Kippered Again Once More,
features a séance with Britain's shortest, fattest spiritualist, Small Medium Large
– and the return from the dead of Mr Benevolent, who possesses a pigeon and sets out
to frame Pip for murder. This brings him to the attention of Inspector Whackwallop of
Scotland Yard and his Victorian crime-fighting tools, including state-of-the-art security
paintings and the forensic science of bottom prints.
Richard Johnson, Anthony Head, and Geoffrey
Whitehead lead a magnificent cast including Tom Allen, James Bachman, Sarah Hadland, Susie
Kane and Mark Evans. Also guest starring in this series are Raquel Cassidy as Miss Sweetly
Delightful and Jane Asher as Mr Gently Benevolent's evil mother.
A Now Grim Life Yet More Grimified - Pip Bin

enormous quantity of cheese. But can the spirits of Harvest Festival past, present and
future show him a way to redemption? With Richard Johnson, Tom Allen, Anthony Head, James
Bachman.
A Sort of Fine Life De-Niced Completely - Pip
Bin strives to improve working conditions in his Bin factory, and to end poverty once and
for all using Harry Biscuit's anti-poverty cannon. But will his quest distract him from a
dastardly plan to steal London and sell it to the French?
A Horrible Life Un-Ruined And Then Re-Ruined A
Lot - Pip, Harry, Pippa and Ripely are reduced to abject poverty on the banks of the
Thames. Will Pip and Harry be able to find work, or will they have to end their days
eating mud and listening to the gloating of Mr Benevolent?
An Evil Life Sort of Explained - Pip Bin,
Harry Biscuit and Gently Benevolent find themselves trapped in the vast emptiness of
space. As their doom looks increasingly inevitable, Mr Benevolent finally explains just
why it is that he is so very very evil.
