Afternoon Play: The Malingerer's Manual

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Gary Ogin.

Is there ever anything you wish you could get out of? A meeting at work? Dinner with the in-laws? Well, Rupert needs to get out of his wedding, and with the aid of The Malingerer's Manual he learns how to get stuck in traffic, develop a cold and invent every excuse in the book and still feel guilt-free. Not that it helps him.
