Show full cast and credits

Pimple's new job as a bill-sticker lands him in trouble.

Show full synopsis

This fragment sees Pimple as a bill-sticker, a favourite street character in music hall and pantomime. Along with similar staples - the copper, the greengrocer with his cart, the two guys with a pane of glass or the fish wife - a man with a bucket full of wet stuff and a ladder made for endless comic possibilities.
