Interview: Robbie Hudson and Marie Phillips

An interview with the writers of Warhorses of Letters.

Ade Bradley, So So Gay, 8th November 2011

Annoyingly addictive parody of several parodies. If you liked that Ladies of Letters series on Woman's Hour, with a hint of 1066 and All That, plus gay jests, you'll like this. If not, avoid. It's February 1810 and this is an imagined correspondence between Copenhagen (Daniel Rigby) and Marengo (Stephen Fry), the first being Napoleon's horse, the second Wellington's. Copenhagen starts as more of a gusher in 21st century mode (he signs with a hoofprint and kiss kiss) than grave Marengo. Remember, Waterloo looms. By Robert Hudson and Marie Phillips.
