| Synopsis: |
From the creator of Reginald Perrin, this is the complete series of David Nobbs' BBC Radio 4 sitcom based in a London museum. Rod Millet has always dreamed of working at the Maltby Collection. He used to visit as a teenager, when he lusted after Whistler's Sister - and his Mother, Rod wasn't picky back then. On becoming the Museum's Deputy Curator of Painting and Sculpture, however, it quickly becomes apparent that the chavvy son of a self-made biscuit mogul isn't going to fit neatly into the musty, insular world of London antiquities. In these six episodes, Rod tries to save the museum from closure - even though by doing so he is threatening director Walter's early retirement - and endeavours to find romance with the lovely Prunella. Can Millet save the day and win his boss' hand? Listen and find out...Starring Julian Rhind-Tutt ("Green Wing") as Rod and Geoffrey Palmer as Walter, this well-written, gentle comedy features guest appearances from Hugh Dennis and Barry Cryer. This CD release also includes an introductory sleeve note about the series, specially written by David Nobbs. |
