In a nutshell:
Burt is a home and away Red who has landed himself a job as an official tour guide at OT, bored with the script he has been given by the men in suits he decides to give his tour party a proper insight into what it is like being a United fan.
Constantly barracked by the plc thought police in the form of the disembodied voice of 'the beast' Burt goes on a ninety minute romp through United history; Cantona's signing from Leeds, Paddy Crerand's defence of Eric post Selhurst Park and the trip to Croydon magistrates court are dealt with brilliantly with a timely defence of Roy Keane thrown in for good measure.
The stealing of Billy Meredith and Sandy Turnbull from City; a M unich tribute which recalls all those who died and not just the players; the fall and rise of 'da godfadah Foiguson' and the introduction of 'Reservoir Dogs' in the shape of the Nevilles, Beckham, Butt, Scholes and Giggs is topped off with a clever one-man depiction of Barca '99 and the 'shagtastic marathon' in which George Best confirms his status as a 'lad's legend' by 'skin-surfing' his way to a magnificent seven conquests in one 24-hour period.
If you like your football free from the marketing man's gloss then don't miss this show.
