4. They Shoot Film Stars Don’t They?

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.

Florence is asked to go on Strictly Come Dancing. Selina is offered a movie but it’s not what it seems. And the truth about Lucy’s real mother is revealed.

The first series of Whatever Happened To Baby Jane Austen? won the Writers’ Guild Award for Best Radio Comedy and the Comedy.co.uk award for Best Radio Sitcom.
