Phil Ellis Is Trying

Series 1

Episode 1: Phil's Bills and Bellyaches

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LW

It's rent day and once again Phil is behind on the payments to his landlord Johnny, who owns the celebrity memorabilia shop below. And this time, Johnny isn't budging: Phil has got to come up with the money or he's out. Luckily, Phil's assistant Lolly has found one more kids' party for Phil to entertain, and if he can get that right, he'll have the rent, no problem. What is more, Phi's finally got a date with Ellie Evans, the florist next door. Maybe he'll finally be able to put the spectre of his recent (three years ago) divorce behind him? All he has to do is get the rent and make the date, and then things might start to look up for Phil. But that's easier said than done. Especially when Phil's involved.

A new sitcom for BBC Radio 4 created and written by Phil Ellis (Edinburgh Award Panel Prize winner 2014) and Fraser Steel (I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, 8 Out Of Ten Cats, A League Of Their Own).

Produced by Sam Michell
