Former pupil of Worcester's The King's School, Rik Mayall is bringing the infamous politician Alan B'Stard back to life.

Mr Mayall, whose family live in Droitwich, created the odious Tory for The New Statesman which ran from 1987 to 1992.

In the new stage show B'Stard has re-invented himself as a Blairite, seen here in a typically grandiose pose at the Scottish parliament.
