Keeping Mum

Marian's mother is coming for a visit, and to keep with her expectations, the Merry Men transform their hideout into a dental surgery. The boys all enjoy Mum's embarrassing stories and flapjacks, and Marian takes Mum into Worksop. The Sheriff and his guards see Mum as they pass through Worksop on their way to collect the visiting Countess of Luxembourg, and the Sheriff decides to seize the opportunity. While Marian's back is turned, he chats Mum up through song, and asks her out; naturally concerned, Marian goes to meet 'Arnold,' where he reveals his identity and captures her. Mum returns to the Merry Men and together they spring into action, ambushing Gary and Graeme with a six-month checkup, and replacing the Countess with Mum, who is then led into the castle. King John uses the opportunity as a chance to get rid of Guy through marriage, but when he leaves, Mum chats up the Sheriff, and convinces him to elope with her. The Merry Men ambush him and are able to get into the torture ch
