Whatever Happened to Baby Jane Austen?

Available for over a year

Florence has mixed feelings when Selina tells her she’s moving out as she’s sold the movie rights to her book and is rich again. But disaster strikes as Selina trashes a national treasure on a live TV appearance. And daughter Lucy cancels her round-the-world yacht voyage to confront the sisters with a devastating question… “The leads’ natural chemistry, plus David Quantick’s witty script… make for an enjoyable comedy with series potential” The Observer “It’s as slick, dark and funny as one would expect – but surely this cannot be a one-off? The ending alone leaves us begging for a series” Radio Times “French and Saunders sparkle with a magic that is so rarely heard in new radio comedies that I’d almost forgotten it was possible” Daily Telegraph Written by David Quantick Florence - Dawn French Selina - Jennifer Saunders Mrs Ragnarrok – Rebecca Front Lucy - Lisa McGrillis All the men - Alistair McGowan Producer: Liz Anstee, a CPL production for BBC Radio 4.
