Bleak Expectations - The Complete Second Series
The second volume of Mark Evans's comic Victorian epic, Bleak Expectations.
Evil villain Mr Gently Benevolent is brought back from the dead by the terrifying Sternbeater family to destroy the life of young Pip Bin, inventor of the bin and one of the wealthiest young men in Britain.
Six stirring chapters gallop through six different aspects of Victorian life as it really probably wasn't. Listeners can bask in the kindness of St Lovely's school, with its classes of double Definitely-Not-Latin and its School Cakery; marvel at the engineering genius of the early railways; and rage against the injustice of Parliament, where the walls are soaked in brandy - and so are the MPs.
