4. Last Night I Dreamt of Mastermind

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.

When Florence is asked to appear on Celebrity Mastermind, she is delighted but terrified as she can鈥檛 think of a specialist subject. Meanwhile Lucy finds a strange clue to Selina and Florence鈥檚 secret but is told to leave well alone by Florence鈥檚 PA Mrs Ragnarrok. And when Florence becomes too stressed to appear on Mastermind, Selina steps in to save 鈥 or ruin 鈥 the day.

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
