BBC Radio 4 - Saturday Drama, Ian Buchan - A Change in the Willows

Toad, Badger, Mole and Ratty embark on an all new adventure along the riverbank.

4 Extra Debut. Kenneth Grahame's beloved Toad, Badger, Mole and Ratty are reunited. Stars Tim McInnerny, Stephen Mangan and Julian Rhind-Tutt.

Toad is back on a spending spree and dismissive of his friends - until he needs their help for a rather irritating ghost problem! Ratty finds himself flooded out of his river side home by rising river levels. 

Mole tries to understand the link between the pang in his stomach and the desire all animals have to be amongst their own kind. And good old Badger is upset that nobody listens to him and his friends take him for granted.
