Icklewick FM: 5. The Leak

5. The Leak

BBC Radio 4 - Icklewick FM, 5. The Leak

A town in crisis. Binmen on strike, rubbish piled high, and the Mayor is missing…

A Town in crisis! The bin men are striking, rubbish is piled high on the streets, rats are riding badgers (apparently) and where the hell is the Mayor?!

A town in crisis! Rubbish fills the streets as the bin men continue to strike for fair pay and rumour has it that the rats are engaged in an unholy alliance with the badgers. As The Mayor is seemingly unable to pick up his phone, Chris and Amy put some Hard Questions to his inexperienced assistant, Nicola Trickle.

When a cache of anonymously leaked documents arrives in the IcklewickFM inbox, it lays bare a conspiracy that shakes the town to its core. In sport, Stanley Power finally has some good news to share!

Buckle up because The Mayor’s identity is finally revealed…
