1. Not Now, Voyager
Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders star as respected novelist Florence and movie star Selina, in a sparkling comedy series about two sisters at war, by Veep writer David Quantick.
Florence is invited to the Hay Book Festival as she’s been nominated for the prestigious Bronte shield – but Florence’s joy and delight turn to anger and disappointment when Selina is also nominated, for her kiss and tell autobiography Kiss And Tell. As every female author in Britain, and Lionel Shriver, drops out in protest, the contest for the award becomes a battle between the two sisters.
“The leads’ natural chemistry, plus David Quantick’s witty script… make for an enjoyable comedy with series potential” The Observer
“It’s as slick, dark and funny as one would expect – but surely this cannot be a one-off? The ending alone leaves us begging for a series” Radio Times
“French and Saunders sparkle with a magic that is so rarely heard in new radio comedies that I’d almost forgotten it was possible” Daily Telegraph
