Come join the time-travelling Dr Death for a comic look at medicine throughout the ages
Simon Watt from Channel 4's Inside Nature's Giants and The Elephant: Life after Death will be presenting alter-ego, the time-travelling Dr Death, for a comic look at medicine throughout the ages in this scientifically accurate panto for children and other generally childish people. The audience will join Dr Death as he tries to ‘cure’ them of any coughs, sneezes and wheezes, as he explores medicine throughout the ages. But be warned – sometimes the treatment can be worse than the symptoms. The show consists of stories of mad mistakes, evil experiments, drugs, dissections, body snatching and even murder.
