Set in Bletchley Park, in WW2, this sitcom focuses on 3 code-breakers forced to share a draughty wooden hut as they try to break German ciphers. Unfortunately they hate one another.
Archie, the stroppy Geordie who wants a socialist revolution must now work with Charles, the ultra-conversative snob who rejected him from Oxford because he didn't know how to use a fish knife. Gordon, the child prodigy, wants to be taken seriously, which is difficult in short trousers and tries vainly to act as peace-maker.
In theory, 3rd Lieut Joshua Fanshawe-Marshall is in charge of the hut, but he struggles to even find his way there, let alone exercise authority. Minka, their Polish secretary, provides much need efficiency, although she is worryingly keen on extreme violence as the solution to all problems.
Off duty, the code-breakers must stay alert to avoid the attentions of Mrs Best, their sex-obsessed landlady who claims to have bedded both Bomber Harris and Goering.
The cast are:
CHARLES - Robert Bathurst
ARCHIE - Tom Goodman-Hill
MINKA - Olivia Colman
JOSHUA - Alex MacQueen

I used to live not that far from Bletchley Park and I've been there a few times - it's quite fascinating when you're there......
One of the best radio comedies ever produced.
Thanks, Bob
