Considering the attention Ms May got when she announced her General Election, Wilson is a bit surprised there's not been more coverage of the big announcement he made yesterday. He said he'd been expecting Sky News to doorstep him this morning.
Or at least Mr Nicky Campbell.
Anyway, to continue with the plot:
Antsy Malone's efforts cost him his relationship with Blousey after he lets her down by not taking her to Hollywood as he'd promised.
Returning to the speakeasy, Blousey and the rest of Fat Sam’s crew are unaware of Dandy Dan’s intent for revenge — his mob burst into the speakeasy and chaos ensues.
Splurge, custard pies, and flour bombs fly across the bar. As the pandemonium comes to a sticky end, it emerges that Antsy and Blousey have reconciled and there is finally peace between the two rival gangs, and Wilson, um, that's to say, Antsy, finally gets the girl.
Anyway, Wilson has already designed the poster, so he won't have to take time out of rehearsals.
He says he'd be very grateful if you would print out the poster and stick it up on the noticeboard where you work.
Or anywhere else, come to that...
🎼 THIS. IS. IT. 🎶
Wilson says this is the PERFECT vehicle to properly showcase his musical talents: ANTSY MALONE.
I think I can see a twinkle in his eye that speaks of determination.
Also, of mayhem.
It is 1929 in New York and the city is divided by gang warfare. On one side, Dandy Dan’s mob terrorise the district with their new splurge guns, while Dandy Dan’s rival, Fat Sam, runs his successful Grand Slam Speakeasy.
However Sam is jealous of Dandy Dan’s gang as he still uses old-fashioned custard pies to take out their victims. When Fat Sam’s gang is brutally splurged and with his empire under severe threat, he engages the help of Antsy Malone (played by Wilson. Obviously), a smooth-talking man about town.
While Antsy simultaneously attempts to woo Blousey Brown, the new-girl singer in town, he helps Fat Sam steal a delivery of splurge guns from Dandy Dan.
To be continued...

The Bees have just reminded me that it's now just over two months since Uncle Zoltan disappeared, and there is still no news.
Wilson's iPad (which is to say, the tablet previously known as MY iPad) has gone wrong, leaving him at a bit of a loose end.
Idly reminiscing to Antony, he mentioned that his Mum, Mrs Vermillingua, in an attempt to bring some order to her chaotic life, had named her children in alphabetical order.
W's Big Sister (Mrs V's first-born) was accordingly named Andrea, followed by Wilson — who's given name was "Boo" (you can see why he changed it, can't you?).
She got a bit confused following the birth of Dinsdale, owing to not having any clear understanding of what the alphabet even is.
Since then, she would have been right through the alphabet several times if she'd stuck with this scheme, but instead, by the time little Francine was born, she had reverted to random naming... which probably accounts in part for her vagueness about birthdays.
And about her family in general...
The Bee With The Star In Her Eye
Following last night's viewing of Doctor Who, Polly and Billi are pretending to be Heather and Bill, staring into their reflections in a puddle and saying, 'Something's wrong — but I don't know what!'
Wilson is The Doctor (obviously!) while Antony is being the Matt Lucas character whose name escapes me.
Oh, his name is Nardole, TT tells me — for a stuffed toy's stuffed toy, TT knows an awful lot.
Wilson is still a bit stuck on Ant Spray — The Musical. He's has been considering an adaptation The PhANTom Of The Opera, but finally rejected it on the grounds that there is only one tune in the whole show — it's a GOOD tune, but it's just not enough, and he's surprised Mr Lloyd Webber didn't spot that.
Alternatively, he wondered about My Fair Lady, where the famous swear-word could be changed to Blunk©®, thus popularising its use enormously.
In other news, Wilson has announced that in order to encourage the use of the word Blunk©® he is willing to temporarily waive the 10p charge for saying it.
... or International Chocolate Day, as everyone here is calling it.
Wilson and the children are in the garden doing an Easter Egg Hunt — Mole says the fact that he has found any eggs at all is entirely due to Billi's generosity in donating her glasses to him. Without them, he says, he wouldn't have found even a single egg!
Later, once our easter eggs were but a distant memory (and a bit of a queasy feeling in the tummy), we all watched last night's Doctor Who.
Mole had never seen Dr Who before and was quite puzzled* by what was going on.
Luckily Antony and Tiny Toy were on hand to explain everything to him.
Insofar as it is explicable...

* Totally baffled!
