You're invited to marvel at the engineering genius of the early railways, including a tunnel made of beef and pastry and a man who sends loud telegrams to say:

"He's on the train. Stop."

But as Pip travels the length and breadth of the land in search of his beloved school, could it be that there is another even more sinister plan underway?

And will the evil Mister Benevolent be involved somehow? Yes! And yes again!

Mark Evans's epic comedy in the style of Charles Dickens.
