The material included a "One Leg Too Few" sketch and "Interesting Facts" sketch[2] with Williams playing an E. L. Wisty character. It also featured Sheila Hancock, Lance Percival and Lance Mulcahy.[3][4]
The Evening News said it was "Scandalously funny" while the Evening Standard said it was "Snappy and gay." It was performed at the Duke of York's Theatre, London.[5]
It was the sequel to Pieces of Eight.
