The Mel And Sue Thing

The Mel And Sue Thing

Episode 4

This week Mel and Sue take on the film world. There's a clip from a new British blockbuster, an epic song from a musical, as well as a special guest appearance by Simon Groom, plugging his new picture Action Slacks 5. Plus another murder on Leather Island, and the tragic death of a loved one in the continuing saga of Jane Austen's seminal work Sweet Fanny Adams - its authenticity still cruelly unrecognised by the literary world.
