A continuity announcer veers drastically off course during a live broadcast of The Shipping Forecast.

Written and read by Eley Williams.

Sarah Perry - author of The Essex Serpent - says Eley's writing is:

"elegantly droll without the kind of hipster quirkiness that makes me want to hurl books at the wall."
