This week we continue with BBC plays about America or written by Americans with a nod to my favorite play of all time. Thornton Wilder's Our Town from 1946. After the seriousness of our last documentary we presennt a mocumentary with our friend former England cricket player Dave Podmore and we begin Series 6 of I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again and one of Troutbridge's own drops in to the tratvian Embassy. Plus lots of laughter from Matt and pdm. So please enjoy this episode of Brunch With The brits dedicated with love to the staff of Test Match special. |
