Kerry Shale's new story features a nasty surprise for married couple Dave and Polly.

In Kerry Shale's new story, married academics and film buffs Dave and Polly take a luxurious holiday in Spain, but get a nasty surprise.

The latest series of short stories by actors features James Wilby, Sarah Winman and Kerry Shale reading their own work. From the jungles of 1970s Sri Lanka (when it was Ceylon) to a luxury boutique hotel in Seville, from the devastation a death causes - and comfortable lives confronted by something shocking - to the adventure of following a wild elephant, these stories are as varied as the performers who have written and read them.


Producer: David Roper
A Heavy Entertainment production for BBC Radio 4.
