Details

The story is similar to the original - we are introduced to the troubled scientist Dr Henry Jekyll, who finds a formula to split away his dark side - the evil Mr Edward Hyde! However, for this new mix of comedy and horror, there a host of colourful new characters such as the showy showman RJ Arkcroft, his dim dancer Vee and the sly Judge Fred Smudge who leads a plot to bring down Dr Jekyll. There are also characters from the original story given a makeover, such as Sir Danvers Carew being re-invented as a corrupt politician and Jekyll's ex-brother-in-law, the wise solicitor Robert Utterson has his own suspicions too and is more than willing to do some digging to protect his family.
