Getting On follows the story of two very different brothers who are forced to reunite on a monthly basis thanks to an unusual clause in their mother's Will.

Concerned that her two sons might drift apart after her death, she testates they meet up once a month to entrust the other with her ashes. They must do this every month without fail until the youngest brother's fortieth birthday.

Star Keiron Self says: "Passing On has been a joy. A tight funny script from Gareth Gwynn, top direction from Benjamin Partridge and a great cast to share a mic with. I've been very spoiled and lucky to have been part of what I hope will be a very enjoyable series."

Richard Elis adds: "It's the kind of thing I really enjoy listening to, it's almost a pity I'm in it because now I know how the story ends! The mixture of comedy experience added to youthful energy within the cast should make it appeal to a wide range of listeners."
