John Finnemore: Uskerty episode blog
Thank you for all the messages I've had about Uskerty - I'm really glad people seem to like it so much.
John Finnemore, John Finnemore's Blog, 19th January 2013The best sitcom on radio? John Finnemore's series about the four staff on a one-plane, tinpot charter airline - and it's just as silly and as tightly constructed as ever in its fourth run. Roger Allam stars as suave, incredibly untrustworthy first officer Douglas, with classy support from Stephanie Cole, Benedict Cumberbatch and Finnemore himself.
