Yellowbeard is the ultimate pirate feared by whoever

travels the high seas. A true scurvy shyster of the

highest order and nautical scallywag in league with the

devil. The kind of man who feasts on the hearts of his

enemies and then forces them to eat their own lips. After twenty

years of being imprisoned for tax evasion Yellowbeard escapes to

reclaim his treasure with the Royal Navy and various adversaries on his

trail. But fate intervenes when he discovers he has an illegitimate son, a

studious, academic land lover who likes books and stuff.

Written by comedy legends Graham Chapman (The Life Of Brian) and

Peter Cook (Bedazzled, Derek And Clive Get The Horn), Yellowbeard is a

prime example of off the wall, madcap, anarchic eighties humour. Featuring

appearances from other Monty Python members John Cleese and Eric Idle,

plus a startling array of comedy stars including Cheech And Chong

(Up In Smoke), Madeline Kahn (Blazing Saddles), Spike Milligan

(The Goon Show, Q), Nigel Planer (The Young Ones), Susannah York

(Superman), Beryl Reid (Psychomania), James Mason (Heaven Can Wait)

and a cameo from David Bowie.
