BBC Radio 4 Extra - Robert Aickman - Ringing the Changes

Gerald and Phrynne are in a seaside resort where the church bells won't stop ringing.

Gerald and Phrynne are in a seaside resort where the church bells won't stop ringing. Starring Fiona Allen and Mark Gatiss.

“Gerald had told Phrynne that if they were to marry in June they couldn't honeymoon until October. He was all too aware of the perils of marrying a girl 24 years younger than himself, to add to them by taking a conventional honeymoon." 

When Gerald and Phrynne arrive at their destination, it’s a curiously deserted seaside resort.

The church bells ring ... and ring.... and ring.
