The Galton and Simpson Radio Playhouse: 1: Clicquot et Fils

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Four adaptations by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson celebrating the 50th Anniversary of their writing partnership.

A firm of undertakers in 1920s France has fallen on hard times, usurped by its more modern rivals. What it needs is a really sumptuous funeral - an old-fashioned, publicity-gathering blockbuster.
