Ali Baba &
the Forty Thieves
Show Characters


Chester is one of Calvin's top henchmen. He follows every order that Calvin gives him, and completely trusts his fearless leader. (Maybe it's just a coincidence, but Chester is known more for his brawn than his brains.)

Quotes: "Did we do good, or what, eh boss? You should be able to buy France with all this booty!"

"Hey! Doris got to close the cave last time! It's my turn!"

"Listen, lady. I ain't no spring chicken! You're trying to pull a fast one on ol' Chester, and it ain't going to work."

Notes: Ailsa Wu (left, with Morris) made her BBT debut as the hard-working but naive Chester.

In real life, Ailsa actually does work for Dodie as an assistant producer. She also played the White Rabbit to Dodie's Queen of Hearts, for an Alice in Wonderland tea party at the Medford Family Center.


Here are some photos of Ailsa as Chester:
