We've recorded a pilot episode of a new radio sitcom called It's Grim Up North which follows a group of dodgy Roman auxiliaries building Hadrian's Wall in AD126. You can listen to it or download it from this link

Hey Trevor,
I listened to this whilst I packed to go on holiday. It wasn't laugh out loud for me but I did enjoy it. I think there is great potential given the setting and the way you included contemporary references. I enjoyed the Empire strikes Back line. I wish you the bet of luck with it.
Our demo was picked up by BBC Radio Cumbria and re-commissioned as five six-minute episodes which are being broadcast every day this week at 10.10am. If you can't catch it live you can catch up with the first episode of It's Grim Up North, here http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00p6bst.
It starts 1 hour and 10 minutes in at 10.10. The other episodes will also be on catch-up on the BBC Radio Cumbria website.
Any feedback would be really appreciated
