The everyday story of a country folk. 

80s political satirical soap opera set in the strangely familiar village of Little Blighty.  

In this idyllic part of the world, there's a village church, a market, a small school and a pub, The Cock and Bull. 

Village life is pretty uneventful, though the humdrum happenings include social turmoil, economic upheaval and vicious political squabbles.

It's all presided over by the redoubtable head of the Parish Council and secretary of the Rotarians, Mrs Roberts.

Written by Mark Burton, John O'Farrell and  Mike Coleman. 

Starring:  

John Bluthal

Jo Kendall 
Nick Hancock

Producer: David Tyler 

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in September 1988.
