Last week's cryptic question

With the demise at the low-grown rocky house, a hop over some South American mountains and a POW stuck in 112 all connected, who would most likely accompany a new Audible sitcom?

Steve Ash, Steve Walton, Trevor Rudge, Wayne Mason, Mark Jones, Chris Gill and Gary Richmond named the right person here.

See the answer

The answer is Roger. This question centres around episodes of Ripping Yarns.

Demise at the low-grown rocky house = Murder at Moorstones Manor (Episode 3).

A hop over some South American mountains = Across the Andes by Frog (Episode 4).

A POW stuck in 112 = Escape From Stalag Luft 112 B (Episode 2).

Meanwhile Audible have just released a sitcom called Raj!... so that points to the final episode of Ripping Yarns, Roger Of The Raj.
