Spike Milligan plays William Topaz McGonagall, an out‑of‑work Scottish weaver who dreams of becoming poet laureate and falls for a pompous Queen Victoria in a brilliant cameo by Peter Sellers. Though the Queen rejects him, McGonagall keeps delivering over‑earnest, turgid verses in a camp spoof that lampoons vanity and celebrates British humor.
