Press
The sitcom Old Harry's Game is back for a new series. Having finally rid themselves of the Professor, who used to make the afterlife unbearable with his questions and his moralising, Satan (Andy Hamilton) and his sidekick Scumspawn (Robert Duncan) find themselves facing a new challenge. There is so much sin in the world, and so much slaughter, that hell is overflowing with the freshly damned. Great fun, despite the deafeningly over-amplified laughter track.
