Something's Gonna Change

BBC Radio 4 - Shedtown, Series 1, Something's Gonna Change

It's the works day out for the staff of Blakeley Industrial Museum.

It's the works day out for the staff of Blakeley Industrial Museum. With Stars Johnny Vegas and Suranne Jones. From June 2011.

Who hasn't thought about running away from it all at some time or other? Throwing caution to the wind, wrenching oneself out of a long established orbit to head for the deep space of the unknown? 

Barry (Tony Pitts) and Jimmy (Kevin Eldon) haven't. Until now. Friends since school days in a small town, they find themselves slipping inexorably and almost unconsciously into middle age. 

Shedtown is a dream born out of quiet desperation. Throughout the series our wooden icon of escape and isolation 'the shed' becomes a symbol of possibility and change; a new community by the sea where our heroes can circumnavigate the mundane, once and for all.

It's the works day out for the workers of Blakeley Industrial Museum - and something's got to change.
