Clenton

BBC Radio 4 Extra - Rum Bunch, Clenton

Justin Edwards, Mel Giedroyc and Dave Mounfield with special guest Clare Grogan.

Justin Edwards, Mel Giedroyc and Dave Mounfield tell the story of Annie Oakley, with special guest Clare Grogan. From 2017.

The Rum Bunch are in the fictional town of Clenton to perform a poorly researched re-enactment of the life of Annie Oakley, the gun toting legend of the Wild West. 

Due to Mel's terrible American accent, Justin has asked Clare Grogan to take on the main role - much to Mel's annoyance.

Meanwhile Dave is trying to boost the sales of his homemade fish paste by getting a celebrity endorsement. 

Things take a turn for the worse after Clare, inspired by her criminal alter ego, goes off script.

Will Mel ride to her old friends' rescue? Will they be able to understand what she says if she does?
