«According to the title track, Alias the Jester was a time-traveller bold, by
sheer
bad luck his ship got caught in the earth's magnetic hold. Which was just as
well,
really, because it meant we got thirteen cracking episodes of an oft-forgotten
Cosgrove Hall classic which went on to earn itself a shining gold star next to
its entry in the Big Book Of Cult TV...
Alias and his green doggy pet Boswell actually crashlanded in the realm of
Houghton Bottoms, whereupon he took on gainful employment as Court Jester
to King Arthur and Queen Edith and made friends with Meredith the muddlesome
wizard and magician, a feeble knight called Sir Pinkly, and the blue-haired
Princess Amaranth. When trouble brewed around the castle (which was all
too often) Alias would don his nippy red suit and attempt to save the day.
Our alien-visitor-turned-fool saved the castle folk from the machinations of
The Black Najjer, Erik the Brainless and a shaggy Beast, who had a
scheme to steal the heart of Princess Amaranth with the aid of a
perilously perfumed plant. But despite his brave feats, Alias had an
unfortunate habit of putting his foot in it. His good deeds would regularly
backfire, or worse, he'd come out with an ill-conceived quip in front
of his employers. And that meant we'd conclude each tale with an
inevitable"firing" from King Arthur: "Jester!" "Yes, Your Majesty?" "You're
fired!" "Yes, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!". That title track, by the
way, was written by Keith Hopwood and Malcolm Rowe of
Pluto Music. Keith was formerly a member of that legendary combo Herman's
Hermits. The Alias theme was Pluto's first outing for Cosgrove Hall, who've
since
written themes for Wind in the Willows, The BFG, and their "Discworld"
adaptations, and much more besides...».
