Series 2, Episode 6 - Royston Vasey and the Monster from Hell

The nosebleed epidemic claims a distinguished victim, and the Legz Akimbo Theatre Company misjudge the public mood.

Further details

Royston Vasey has been plunged into chaos. The nosebleeds are everywhere and the Army has arrived... it is like a plague has taken over.

David's bride has been chosen - it's Barbara the transsexual cabbie - but the big day is overshadowed by the bleeding orifices.

The police have a pretty good idea what is causing the deadly problem though, but the panicking locals decide to take matters into their own hands, misunderstanding what Benjamin means about the Local Shop. The locals set fire to the shop and, as it burns to the ground, Edward and Tubbs slow-dance to their demise.
