The Toll
4 Extra Debut. The struggles of toll bridge manager Neville and his staff. Set in Wales, starring Steffan Rhodri and Kimberley Nixon. From June 2013.
The Toll is a warm-hearted and uncynical sitcom following the lives of the people who work on a toll bridge in Wales, written by Benjamin Partridge. It centres around the character of Neville, who is the general manager of the bridge, a man struggling always to do the right thing.
In this episode, Neville (Played by Gavin and Stacy's Steffan Rhodri) finds a pair of rare birds nesting on the bridge and disrupts traffic flow to protect them, enraging motorists and his boss Felicity. Meanwhile, Paul has bought a new coat having discovered the local charity shop.
Benjamin Partridge has written for The News Quiz, The Now Show, Dilemma, The Headset Set and Listen Against. He devised the Radio 4 panel show It's Your Round. Partridge has also co-presented shows on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Wales with Chris Corcoran or Gareth Gwynn, and is a regular panellist on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Wales panel show What's The Story?
