³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

Actor Jane Horrocks hosts a dinner party with a twist - all her guests are from beyond the grave!

But her heroes are brought back to life by the magic of the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ radio archive.

An all-star line-up is joining Jane for dinner:

* Singer and entertainer Cilla Black
* Poet and novelist Sylvia Plath
* TV celebrity chef Fanny Craddock (and her sidekick, Jonny)
* Singer-songwriter Ian Dury
* Underwater explorer Jacques Cousteau.

While the Lancashire hotpot bubbles in the oven, the dinner party conversation becomes loud and mischievous – from the thrill of breaking taboos on stage, to the wonder of the sea, from the loneliness of fame to the joy of English eccentricity - and plenty of singing/performance around the dinner table.

Producer: Sarah Peters & Peregrine Andrews

A Tuning Fork and Open Audio production for ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Radio 4, first broadcast in September 2019.
