From The Times

An excellent cast – Penelope Wilton, Alison Pettit, Malcolm Sinclair and Carl Prekopp – has great fun with Marcy Kahan’s play about a play – the Radio 4 Afternoon Play. When it is broadcast, a retired civil servant is so annoyed by its grammatical solecisms that she writes to Feedback to complain.

Roger Bolton, recognising a punch-up in the making, invites her on to the programme to discuss it with the playwright, and all hell breaks loose over the airwaves. Besides Bolton, the newsreader Peter Donaldson also appears, playing himself. Very jolly and extraordinarily incestuous, Radio 4. Well done.
