The Maltby Collection - Series 1 & 2

The Maltby Collection is the creator of Reginald Perrin and A Bit Of A Do's David Nobbs' first radio sitcom, set in a London museum and starring Geoffrey Palmer and Julian Rhind-Tutt. Rod Millett (Rhind-Tutt) has always dreamed of working at The Maltby Collection. He used to visit as a teen to lust after Whistler's Sister - and Mother: he wasn't picky back then. On becoming the Museum's deputy curator of painting and sculpture, however, it quickly becomes clear that the chavvy son of a self-made biscuit mogul isn't going to fit neatly into the musty, insular world of London antiquities. The Maltby Collection is threatened with closure and Rhind-Tutt rescues the museum, much to the annoyance of its director Palmer, who was planning a profitable early retirement. An all star cast in a very well conceived and superbly executed gentle comedy.

First released: Thursday 8th May 2008
