This week we review - Bleak Expectations (Series 5 Episode 2)
A radio comedy which has been aptly described as "a gloriously daft Victorian romp in the style of Charles Dickens after too much gin."
In this series, Pip Bin is beginning to miss the conflict with his absent evil nemesis Mr Gently Benevolent, when he receives an intriguing invitation to a house party with Britain's poshest man. Pip, Gently and Co visit India, Antarctica and other interesting locations.
In this episode, The Victorian comedy adventure sees Pip and his friends travel to India in their quest to thwart the evil machinations of smooth but sinister genius Mr Gently Benevolent.
Gasp as our heroes struggle with super-intelligent tigers, giant snakes, and secret gin!
Starring Tom Allen, Anthony Head, Richard Johnson, James Bachman, Susy Kane, Sarah Hadland and Geoffrey Whitehead.
