Short summary
Brought up in Ireland by his mother Tom Chadwick returns to England when he and sister Bea - who communicates through a puppet monkey - visit their father Keith and are told of a box left them by a great aunt. Its contents include the photo of a distinguished looking old gentleman in military garb, Tom's great grandfather. Through antique dealer Mr Pfister Tom and best friend Pete meet genealogist Neville St Aubrey, who tells them that the man in the photo is Prince George. However he is not their relative, who was actually the man who took the picture and was an actor on the south coast of England.
Nina Conti uses her monkey puppet Monk to voice her real opinions and insult people in a blunt, politically-incorrect manner very much like ventriloquist Jay Johnson and his dummy Chuck did on the sit-com, Soap. And in each show, both play characters who think their puppet is real.
