Come along miss, quietly now or I'll halve your harmoinics!

Wheeze: "This interval's gone on too long"
Chorus: "In the dungeon, the ice-cold dungeon, the Giant sleeps tonight"
Enter stage left, Gertie the Goose …
… who seems to have laid a bomb!
… and also, usefully, some golden eggs!
The goose gets frisky in the line-up
Penelope: "I watch a lot of television in the afternoons, there's not much else to do in the Palace"
What does that goose think it's doing?

Harriet the Harp to the rescue!
Uh-Huh, the baddies are back …
… but they get their 'just desserts'! …
… and a golden egg to keep them quiet
Stammers: "If I might inter - inter - interject, your Highness"
Stammers gets more than he bargained for from the Widow offstage!!

Jack in his/her finery for the walk-down (ignore Paul's legs!)
And there's always an udder side to life!
