ROGER AND THE ROTTENTROLLS
Bafta award winner

Somewhere in England is a very strange valley... The rocks are all slightly mad. A thousand years ago, Merlin was trying to create a ski resort for King Arthur, when he picked up some strange Norweigan trolls in a snow cloud.

"Oh, those rotten trolls have messed it all up!", he shouted.

From that day on, they waited for their mystical leader whose name they found carved in a rock - "Roger Was Ere". So one day, when Roger Becket from Cowgill stopped at the bottom of the valley and shouted "Roger Was Here" - from that moment on, he was King of the Rottentrolls!

Nigel played Aysgarth and various others.
