The Road to Mars

WithMonty Python's Flying Circus, Eric Idle proved he was one of the funniest people in the world. And withThe Road to Marshe reaffirms this with a raucously sidesplitting vengence. Muscroft and Ashby are a comedy team on "The Road to Mars," an interplanetary vaudeville circuit of the future. Accompanied by Carlton, a robot incapable of understanding irony but driven to learn the essence of humor, Alex and Lewis bumble their way into an intergalactic terrorist plot. Supported by a delicious cast, including a micropaleontologist narrator (he studies the evolutionary impact of the last ten minutes) and the ultra-diva Brenda Woolley,The Road to Marsis a fabulous trip through Eric Idle's inimitable world, a "universe expanding at the speed of laughter."
