James Grout, Jimmy Mulville, Robert Duncan and Andy Hamilton star
in six episodes from the third and fourth series of Old Harry's
Game, the comedy series set in Hell. Satan may rule the roost, but
he's beset by the poor unfortunates condemned to sit out Eternity
with him. Amongst them are the Professor, who is convinced that
societies evolve and mature until Satan introduces him to Bill
Clinton. There's also Scumspawn, who here finds himself trying to
deal with a lager lout, and a new arrival in the form of a Health
and Safety Officer - who soon announces that the lighting in Hell
is inadequate. As for Satan himself, in this batch of episodes he
is concerned about his image on Earth, persuaded to remake
Casablanca (with Bogart, Bergman and a mutant alien), and
determined to prove that the English are the worst nation on Earth.
He also takes offence to W.B. Yeats' verse description of him - and
so pays a visit to the underworld's own Poets' Corner. The episodes
in this volume are: Series Three, Episode One, 24 March 1999;
Series Three, Episode Two, 31 March 1999; Series Three, Episode
Three, 7 April 1999; Series Four, Episode Two, 5 April 2001; Series
Four, Episode Three, 12 April 2001; Series Four, Episode Four, 19
