A cash crisis hits the Parish Council - and the local family of toffs feel the squeeze too. They all try to borrow off each other and even have to mortgage a jail. Early 90s political satirical soap opera set in the strangely familiar village of Little Blighty. Life here is pretty uneventful, though the humdrum happenings include social turmoil, economic upheaval and vicious political squabbles. Starring: John Baddeley Jo Kendall Bernadine Corrigan Daniel Strauss Michael Troughton Simon Godley Written by John O'Farrell, Mark Burton and Mike Coleman Producer Lissa Evans First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in August 1992.
