**** This programme was suggested by Tony Darbyshire as part of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4 Extra’s All Request Weekend. **** When Brenda tipped Malcolm's drink over in the pub, she was hoping to get a ride on his pillion to a bikers' bust-up in Rhyl. What she hadn't bargained for, was a trip in what she called a one-wheeled bidet to some marsh on the Wirral. Comedy drama written by Jim Hitchmough. Malcolm …. Bernard Latham Brenda …. Sue Jenkins Jim’s one-off radio comedy drama was later developed into a seven series sitcom for ITV made by Granada Television, running from 1987 to 1993. The TV version was re-cast and the old Velocette motorbike was replaced by a Norton. Produced at ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Manchester by Tony Cliff. First broadcast on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4 in April 1985. **** To nominate a programme from the archives that you would like to hear again, please email radio4extra@bbc.co.uk ****
