BBC Radio 4 Extra - Way Out East, Get Well Soon Bobby McGee

Comedy by Guy Meredith about British expats sharing a flat in Hong Kong.

Expat flatmates in Hong Kong have different reasons for wanting to win the pub quiz. Stars John Gordon Sinclair. From 2016.

Flatmates James, Malcolm and Zoe have different reasons for wanting to win the annual Sexpaq pub quiz - even if it does involve cheating.

Comedy by Guy Meredith about a group of expats sharing a flat in Hong Kong. Into the lives of unsuccessful architect James and failed-everything Malcolm comes Zoe on a one-way ticket from England to start a new life.

After an unpromising start, she moves in with James and Malcolm, convinced that she can get these two undomesticated alpha males to change their ways and become more organised at home and work. She also becomes part of the scene at the Shakes, the local expat pub run by Wanda and visited by James's boss Mr Ampersand who gives her a job as his PA.
