Episode 4 – A Night to Forget

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 final episode of the series, there’s a death in the family as well as an imminent birth, while Florence gets her ideal job – lecturing people about her work. Soon everyone is literally in the same boat together, in a scenario reminiscent of a Tom Hanks movie where he plays a captain (no, not that one).

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.
