³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

**** This programme was suggested by Tony Darbyshire as part of ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio 4 Extra’s All Request Weekend. ****

When Brenda tipped Malcolm's drink over in the pub, she was hoping to get a ride on his pillion to a bikers' bust-up in Rhyl.

What she hadn't bargained for, was a trip in what she called a one-wheeled bidet to some marsh on the Wirral.

Comedy drama written by Jim Hitchmough.

Malcolm …. Bernard Latham
Brenda …. Sue Jenkins

Jim’s one-off radio comedy drama was later developed into a seven series sitcom for ITV made by Granada Television, running from 1987 to 1993.

The TV version was re-cast and the old Velocette motorbike was replaced by a Norton.

Produced at ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Manchester by Tony Cliff.

First broadcast on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio 4 in April 1985.
