North By Northamptonshire - Series 3 & Full Stop

Sheila Hancock narrates the bittersweet adventures of the residents of a small town in Northamptonshire in the complete 3rd series of the BBC radio comedy drama - plus special episode Full Stop.

Relationships have come and gone but life continues in Wadenbrook, where Sheila Hancock takes us behind closed doors to reveal the inhabitants' heartbreak and happiness.

In Series 3, Ken and Keith are celebrating; Jan has dinner with her ex-husband, and Mary and Jonathan have crossed wires. In addition, visitors are expected in Wadenbrook; a revelation is long overdue; Jan determines to do something unexpected for her birthday and a funeral focuses everyone's mind.

Full Stop finds the inhabitants of Wadenbrook taking a New Years' Eve minibus trip. Having recently performed their own amateur production of My Fair Lady, they are excited to be off to see a professional and starry production at Birmingham's Hippodrome. Former school teacher Mary has organised the outing (with an ulterior motive) and Ken has an important question to ask Keith. But heavy snow threatens to thwart everyone's plans....

Sheila Hancock is the narrator of this heartwarming comedy series, also starring Kevin Eldon, Geoffrey Palmer, Penelope Wilton and Felicity Montagu.
