BBC Radio 4
3 Series
Follows the chaotic, competitive and utterly co‑dependent lives of Florence Ransom (Dawn French), a Booker Prize‑winning literary novelist, and her estranged sister Selina Mountjoy (Jennifer Saunders), a once‑glittering Hollywood star now fuelled by attention and nostalgia. Forced repeatedly back under the same roof, the pair’s long‑buried resentments, bruised ambitions and one explosive secret known only as “the Incident” bubble up into full‑blown comic mayhem.
Blending razor‑sharp celebrity satire with sibling rivalry and the emotional messiness of a family who simply cannot—despite their best efforts—stay out of each other’s lives, the series has become a multi‑award‑winning favourite: two‑time winner of the British Comedy Guide Award for Best Radio Sitcom and it’s nominated again this year. It also won a Writer’s Guild Award for Best Radio Comedy.
