In Babylon, the people feel obliged to bring food in abundance for the mythical beast that lives in the temple. The wise Daniel says that the beast is just a statue and doesn't need the offerings. The priests are furious, and Daniel is given one night to prove the truth of his claims. Praise for Roger McGough: 'He is a true original and more than one generation would be much the poorer without him.' - The Times
