I’ve recently discovered this radio comedy. It is by no means new (2005 - 2006) and there are only 12 episodes so I’m trying to drip feed myself with it.
It is a cracking cast (as you can see) and is very much a dry humour rather than laugh out loud.
It’s set at Cambridge University. A man dies, seemingly naturally, but the Master doesn’t believe it so calls in Simon (Sam West) to investigate. Simon is bored with his job as a health and safety exec, eternally snarky, and determined to solve the murder that nobody else thinks happened whilst also trying to get back with Zoe (Sharon Small) his ex. Meanwhile Gilbert (Geoffrey Palmer), the Dean (Michael Maloney, Bernard (Jonathan Coy), and Patricia (Rebecca Front) all involve themselves in the competition to become the new Master when the old one dies suddenly.
If dry British humour is your thing, I’d recommend it. With a cast like that how can you go particularly wrong?
You can get it on iTunes and Audible I think.
