What a revelation! Learn exactly why Stonehenge was built. Such truth has long eluded experts but now slips out during a dodgy variety show. But that's not all you get from this 26 minutes of mirth and mayhem. We start in West London, where a sensitive unearthing is soon derailed by mysterious sounds. Thence to America's deep south, where a revival meeting welcomes an oddly low-key foreigner. Meanwhile those lovable seaside entertainers - the Great Crustaceans - are bemused by a suggestion from Spider, their drummer. And there's more! Particularly more music, from Muddler Live - the land where the people love to laugh and sing. Mr Crampton crucifies an old punk classic, while Jan North warns us about Makin' Whoopee. This week's advertiser is Perky, 'one small pill and you're up and away'. Thanks to pianist Dorian Ford and the much loved, and much missed, Jan North.

This is the third of six episodes of the mighty Series One. Make sure you follow The Big Muddler, so you can guarantee your supply of crucial claptrap.
