No More Mr Nice Spud!It Was A Time Of War.
After years of patient subordination, after every device for harmonious living with Mankind had been exhausted, the Potatoes Had Become Angry. No more young potatoes to be Consigned to the Flames, humiliated by smothering in Cheese and Onion! No more truckling to the Tyranny of the Chip-Pan! It was time to Roll Over and Be Counted!
The Potato of Doom stands, at the head of his column of the dread Potatoes of the Night, poised on the brink of victory. Mankind quivers, subordinate at last to the fell desires of Tuber Power. The Hour of the Spus is at last At Hand!
Into this most uncertain hour, when Man and Potato stand at the Last Ditch, comes one with a simple message of peace and universal harmony. Operating from the lonely fastness of Southampton, last free port of the Potatoes of Light, can she bring the warring strugglers for dominion back from the brink?
20th Century Root Vegetable Proudly Present:
A POTATO CALLED GRETELTormented by her past, and the memory of her love, sundered by a cruel fork and a spoonful of baked beans, Gretel stands a lone potato of sanity in a world gone to seed. Can she triumph? Will the world be saved? Could mankind ever look a salt and vinegar crisp in the eye again?
Find out, at a cinema near you, now.
Starring Gretel the Potato as herself, with Rock Starchy (aka TV's The Carbohydrate Cowboy) as the Potato of Doom, and Leon Brittain as Sir Herbert McTuber.
