Dial M for Pizza [24/11/1987]

Synopsis
British radio sketch show with Brenda Blethyn and Robert Bathurst. Episode 2 includes a three-minute skit on Shakespeare’s Macbeth. ‘Macbash’, a BBC/Beano collaboration, as the fictional radio presenter announces, is part of a series ‘Introducing Literary Classics to the Younger Listener’, the BBC in collaboration with Beano (a classic British comic) presents ‘Macbash’. Opening with the witches indecisive as to whether they should meet in a chip shop, caf or den, it ends with Macduff beating up Macbash with a wacking slipper and the editor’s voice apologetically pronouncing the rest "too horrible to show".
