The night of the "North West of the North West Small Business Awards" is fast approaching and Phil sees this as an ideal opportunity to impress Ellie who's nominated for "Best Florist" - all he needs to do is get the job hosting it. And even then, it is on the one condition that he finds a celebrity to present the main award. Well, it's good for Lolly to have something to do...

"Phil Ellis Is Trying" is new sitcom for BBC Radio 4 written and created 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).
