Fallen Women? Does it mean they're hurt their knees? After a decade of soul-saving in Africa, Charles Fortesque is asked to minister to the ladies of the night in 1906 London.

So Fortesque feeds them, shelters them and not infrequently provides them a bed - his!

A naive man of the cloth becomes a man of the sheets in a playfully naughty yet always tasteful comedy that stars Monty Python's Michael Pilan as Fortesque and features a colourful array of cockeyed characters: a blissful airhead (Phoebe Nicholls), a lusty mission sponsor (Maggie Smith), a bewildered butler (Michael Hordem), an earthy bishop (Denholm Elliot), a cantankerous John Bull (Trevor Howard) and more. Jolly good fun!
