Short summary
Tom sees a photo of his great grandfather Harry in costume for 'The Mikado' and travels with Pete to Hove to meet the very elderly Sybil, who used to live next door to Harry. She directs them to the Regents Theatre, whose archivist Rex Mottram reveals that not only did Harry have a - very tiny - part in a play starring Laurence Olivier but was also one half of a celebrated pantomime horse. Rex gives Tom the horse costume and he and Pete wear it in a charity race, where they come last.
