The Saturday Play: The House Swap

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Peter Tinniswood
With Penelope Wilton as Alma, Peter Vaughan as Ferns, and William Hootkins as Sid.

Sid Fiedelman, a hard-drinking, award-winning American cartoonist, is sent by his editor to cast a satirical eye on Britain at the end of the millennium. But Sid and his world-weary wife Alma are unprepared for what the small English village of Winterleaf Gunner has to offer.
