Graham Linehan from the Screenplay by William Rose

In this classic black comedy a sweet little old lady, alone in her house, is pitted against a gang of criminal misfits who will stop at nothing ...

Posing as amateur musicians, Professor Marcus and his gang rent rooms in the lopsided house of sweet but strict Mrs Wilberforce

The villains plot to involve her, unwittingly, in Marcus' brilliantly conceived heist job

The police are left stumped but Mrs Wilberforce becomes wise to their ruse and Marcus concludes that there is only one way to keep the old lady quiet

With only her parrot, General Gordon, to help her, Mrs Wilberforce is alone with five desperate men

But who will be forced to face the music?
