thisbluespiritSo, when I asked for recs for other radio sitcoms a few weeks back, persiflage_1 suggested Welcome to Our Village, Please Invade Carefully by Eddie Robson, starring Hattie Morahan, Peter Davison & Jan Francis. And as you can imagine at that combination of things, I jumped on it.
The obvious outcome is that I loved it, and the dratted thing is a too-short, unfinished radio sitcom with no fanfic. So, now it does. \o/ And on the up side, at least I found it in time for Yuletide.
(If you are, quite naturally, also wanting to know where this has been all your life and where can you get hold of it, it had a CD release, so presumably should be available by people's usual means of obtaining audiobooks, and you can also get the off-air recording from the Internet Archive as uploaded by a couple of people, including here. There are 2 series plus the pilot, with 11 x c.28mins episodes.)
