By Kat Mokrynski Picture: all rights reserved “It’s the final night recording Wibble the Dragon. The show is massively over-budget and underwritten. With one hour left to film 16 pages and an audience of children getting more and more impatient, the cast and crew know big cuddly heads are going to roll.” There’s a new Mischief show in town, and it’s darker than any of the ones that have come before.
