Hordes Of The Things: Series 1, Episode 4 - The Fourth Chornicle - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)

Can Radox's assembled forces of good win the battle? Or will it all be a total anti-climax?

Further details

Radox the Green is still at his wizard conference, and discovers in his old robe the entire rhyme, which says that not even all seven heroes can save Albion from The Evil One.

Agar and Golin go forth in an attempt to return to Radox, but they get caught in a giant spider web. However, while the spiders argue amongst themselves about their last meal, Agar and Golin are freed by a great eagle, who carries them to Albion.

Radox travels to the Misty Woods, where he ends up talking to an angry stream about getting some extra time to help, but the stream attacks him.

In the Castle Comfylawns, Veganin discovers that Yulfric is angry about his attacks against The Evil One, and that he has sentenced him to death. Veganin goes forth on his own to defeat the armies of evil. Elfreda then points out to him that The Evil One is coming to the castle. Yulfric confesses to his wife that he is an elf, just as The Evil One attacks Albion.

Agar arrives at the location which Radox told him to meet him, at the Pyre of Albion, which Golin lights. He disturbs the spirit of the Pyre, which turns out to be a recording from Radox. Radox gives him instructions on using the Summontrumpet. However, the trumpet is instead blown by Veganin, who summons some dwarves. Agar cannot blow the trumpet, so they have to make do. And so the nine do battle against the vast hordes of the things.
