A fun adaptation of Mark Twain's ultimate doppelgänger story. Sean Scully is the beggar ("Tom Canty") who stumbles into the palace of Henry VIII (Paul Rogers) where he encounters a curious Prince of Wales - who might be his twin! The Prince is struggling to find attire for a rather tiresome fancy dress party and hits on the idea of swapping clothes with his new, scruffy, friend. The guards assume the prince is really the pauper and evict him from his grandeur to make his way in the squalid streets of "Offal Court"; where he meets "Miles Hendon" (Guy Williams) and sets about convincing him, and everyone else of his true identity. Meantime "Tom" is having as equally an hard time convincing all the folks in the palace that he isn't actually the Prince - and when Henry VII dies - the King too. It's an enjoyable, colourful historical adventure with some swash and buckle; good attention to the detail of Tudor Court and costumes and the likes of Jane Asher, Donald Houston and Laurence Naismith all support the young Scully well.
