Synopsis: | Bloomsbury meets the Carry On team. . .Four of Queen Victoria's most trusted agents (General Gordon, Cardinal Manning, Dr Arnold of Rugby and Florence Nightingale) are sent to burgle the country house of Bloomsbury group hostess Lady Ottoline Morrell in order to prevent the publication of a scandalous book by bearded queen Lytton Strachey. To say that the four Victorians bungle the mission is one of the great understatements of our age. | |||||
