4. The Fundraiser

BBC Radio 4 - Icklewick FM, 4. The Fundraiser

Get out your chain wallets and jump in a bath of beans. Icklewick FM are fundraising.

Icklewick FM is fundraising to buy blackout blinds to save little Lottie Brisket who’s suffering migraines from the light of the inland lighthouse. Please. Give generously.

Amy and Chris are leading a mammoth fundraising drive to help little Lottie Brisket, who’s been suffering from debilitating migraines as a result of living within the perimeter of Icklewick’s leading tourist attraction; the UK’s only inland lighthouse. Everyone’s doing their bit, including Mr Patel who’s somehow managed to wrangle an unbelievable collection of celebrity endorsements. 

Chris’s suspicions are raised when an enigmatic stranger shows up at the IcklewickFM studios, claiming to be Amy’s long lost cousin from America. Summat smells fishy and it’s not just Cousin Dunc’s clearly Australian accent…

Mr Patel spends most of this episode faffing about on his phone like a teenager. 

Created and written by Chris Cantrill and Amy Gledhill with additional material from the cast.
