Tooth Fairy has managed to convince the Easter Bunny that it's his fault that children's teeth fall out.
It's all that chocolate, you see. And now he's dispappeared.
In his absence, some very unlikely characters are looking to apply for the newly vacant post. But with Sergeant Pickles and Constable Spoon on his tail, it can only be a matter of time before he's found. Providing, of course, that Sergeant Pickles doesn't lose all his teeth to his weakness for barley sugars.
Reinforcing the messages that it's important to look after your teeth and to eat healthily, this comedy will entertain both children and adults alike.
With music this show runs at about 60 minutes and is suitable for children aged between 8 and 14.

The prophecy: a girl born in poverty who is destined to become a queen.
The problem: a king who doesn't want this girl marrying his son, 'the adorable' Prince Wilbert.
This show has it all:
A resourceful young heroine:
A relentlessly nasty king;
A band of inept, but strangely helpful criminal masterminds;
A mysterious used broom salesman;
A hypochondriac ferryman of the underworld;
A puppet who may one day grow up to be a slightly larger puppet.
In order to marry her prince, Persephone must travel to the Underworld to pluck the three golden hairs from the back of Hades. On the way she meets some unusual characters and helps to solve their equally unusual problems.
Weaving elements from Greek myth with a fairytale by the Brothers Grimm this hilarious show will surprise and entertain in equal measure.
