Episode 1 – A Portrait of Florence
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.
In the first episode of a new series, it’s a wonderful day in the Ransom household as Florence is about to be immortalised in oils by David Hockney - or is it Alan Bennett? Meanwhile Selina proves to be unusually sympathetic to Lucy’s new direction in life as an environmental protester.
The first series of Whatever Happened To Baby Jane Austen? won the Writers’ Guild Award for Best Radio Comedy and the second series won the British Comedy Guide Award for Best Radio Sitcom for the second year in a row.
