This week we review - Brian Gulliver's Travels (Series 2, Episode 2)
A BBC Radio 4 satirical comedy series about a seasoned presenter of travel documentaries, Brian Gulliver, who finds himself in a hospital's secure unit after claiming to have experienced a succession of bizarre adventures.
Originally broadcast 21 February 2011 - 28 March 2011.
Brian Gulliver's Travels is a new adventure story from Bill Dare (producer of Spitting Image, Dead Ringers and I've Never Seen Star Wars).
The series has attracted an excellent cast led by Neil Pearson (Drop The Dead Donkey, Bridget Jones's Diary) and award winning star Mariah Gale (Ophelia in BBC TV's 2009 production of Hamlet).
We hear about Brian's travels in Gelbetia, a country run by doctors; Juradia, where every other person is a lawyer; Osminia, a land where marriage is outlawed; Sham, a country where alternative therapies abound; Erosia, which has a very different view of sexual politics; and Jampoa, where fame definitely equals fortune.
In addition to Neil Pearson and Mariah Gale, the cast also includes Tamsin Greig, Paul Bhattacharjee, Vicky Pepperdine, Phil Cornwell and Katherine Jakeways.
Written by Bill Dare
Produced by Steven Canny
A BBC Production
