Geoff Allerton

Simon Day and his characters welcome you back to The Mallard, a small provincial theatre somewhere in the UK.

Each week one of Simon's comic characters come to perform, while the staff struggle with rivalries, self-doubt and the new owner's vision for the theatre's future.

This time, it's the turn of Yorkshire poet Geoffrey Allerton, who's accompanied by his amateur journalist friend, Duncan.

Written by Simon Day.
