Ben gets a new telescope, and Graham has some big news.

Ben ...... Reece Shearsmith
Graham ...... Julian Rhind-Tutt
Jane ...... Katy Wix
Beverley ...... Alison Steadman
Robin ...... Richard Aldridge

Atmospheric comedy about a cheery scientist based in Sub-Antarctica by Katy Wix.

It’s Ben’s trip of a lifetime, but in a vast icy landscape with dodgy internet. Feeling lonely, he shares his thoughts via an audio 'log' on his dictaphone.

Graham is a fellow nerdy scientist so their exchanges are mumbled. Ben’s even more awkward around new arrival Jane, though he’s not entirely sure why.

Producer: Tilusha Ghelan
