The Village Fete

When Nancy moves to the countryside with her brother, sister and poorly father, everything goes wrong.

The Empson family's new house has a gas leak and needs re-wiring and re-roofing.

Nancy doesn't mind. She likes organising.

But then Winston, the local poacher and handyman, takes over and invites Nancy to the village fete...

Peter Tinniswood's play introduces the Empson family.

This sparked five series of Winston's adventures for BBC Radio between 1989 and 1994 - still regularly heard on BBC Radio 4 Extra.
