- "Four gentlemen set out on a head-long journey across a continent searching for the existence of pre-historic life. One is journeying to prove his findings right, one to prove the other wrong, one to win the hand of his sweet heart and the last just for the adventure. Hand-drawn marionettes are projected and animated, to tell a fairytale version of the story, accompanied by improvised live music."

- "Popular comedian and poet John Hegley returns to Bristol with a series of tales about a Frenchman with some unusual (but clean) habits, which include burying his dog's kennel and his own luggage pieces. The stories appear alongside other new works, including an address to aliens on the subject of transport, a poem about a non-talking parrot and some animal impersonations with the aid of a handkerchief. The audience are invited to sing along. But not to dance. Much."
