A Fight for Four Eyes

BBC Radio 4 - The Break, Series 4, A Fight for Four Eyes

Jeff (Philip Jackson) and Andy (Tom Palmer) visit the library.

Philip Jackson, Mark Benton, Alison Steadman and Tom Palmer star. Love blossoms between the bookshelves of Flamford Central Library.

A running feud between Jeff (Philip Jackson) and local librarian Kate (Shobna Gulati) turns into something more. 

At the same time, Jeff's "arrangement" with his on-off partner Corinne (Alison Steadman) turns into something less. In the meantime, now that Jeff's mind is elsewhere, Andy (Tom Palmer) finds himself rekindling his relationship with his on-off partner Liz. With the library under threat, Jeff gets drawn into the campaign to save it, soliciting the help of stentorian town crier Peter Humfriss (Mark Benton) and Flamford's Olympic-standard grump, Mr Truepenny (Rasmus Hardiker).
