Episode 4 – A Night to Forget

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane Austen?

Available for over a year

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. “Thank you, Mr Quantick – this is nigh on perfect” Radio Times Written by David Quantick Florence - Dawn French Selina - Jennifer Saunders Mrs Ragnarrok – Rebecca Front Lucy – Georgia Tennant All the men - Alistair McGowan Producer: Liz Anstee A CPL production for BBC Radio 4
