Episode 5 of 6
A tennis battle of the sexes, Jane Austen and TV sleuths. Sketches with Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins. From October 2002.
Virginia Wade and Tim Henman talk politics, Sweet Fanny Adams talks, well, sweetly, and Lovejoy and Bergerac talk nonsense.
Plus the penultimate episode of Jane Austen's lost novella, Sweet Fanny Adams, still cruelly ignored by the critics as a work of minor importance.
More mayhem from Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins.
With Paul Chahidi
Written by Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins.
Producer: Elizabeth Freestone
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in October 2002.
