3. The Ghost And Mrs Ragnarrok

Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders star as respected novelist Florence and movie star Selina, in a sparkling comedy series about two sisters at war, by Veep writer David Quantick.

Selina鈥檚 close personal ex-husband Andrew has died and 鈥 much to Florence鈥檚 rage and fury - left her a small Picasso. Meanwhile the murky waters of daughter Lucy鈥檚 parentage are stirred as Florence鈥檚 PA Mrs Ragnarrok has a mysterious meeting with Jonathan, who happens to be Lucy鈥檚 father. Unaware of any of this, Lucy continues to plan the round-the-world yacht voyage that everyone has completely forgotten she is about to undertake.

鈥淭he leads鈥 natural chemistry, plus David Quantick鈥檚 witty script鈥 make for an enjoyable comedy with series potential鈥 The Observer
鈥淚t鈥檚 as slick, dark and funny as one would expect 鈥 but surely this cannot be a one-off? The ending alone leaves us begging for a series鈥 Radio Times
鈥淔rench and Saunders sparkle with a magic that is so rarely heard in new radio comedies that I鈥檇 almost forgotten it was possible鈥 Daily Telegraph
