3. The Ghost And Mrs Ragnarrok
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.
Selinaβs close personal ex-husband Andrew has died and β much to Florenceβs rage and fury - left her a small Picasso. Meanwhile the murky waters of daughter Lucyβs parentage are stirred as Florenceβs PA Mrs Ragnarrok has a mysterious meeting with Jonathan, who happens to be Lucyβs father. Unaware of any of this, Lucy continues to plan the round-the-world yacht voyage that everyone has completely forgotten she is about to undertake.
βThe leadsβ natural chemistry, plus David Quantickβs witty scriptβ¦ make for an enjoyable comedy with series potentialβ The Observer
βItβs as slick, dark and funny as one would expect β but surely this cannot be a one-off? The ending alone leaves us begging for a seriesβ Radio Times
βFrench and Saunders sparkle with a magic that is so rarely heard in new radio comedies that Iβd almost forgotten it was possibleβ Daily Telegraph
