Evelina & Dear Little Burney: Two BBC Radio Full-Cast Dramatisations

"A BBC radio drama adaptation of Fanny Burney’s best-known novel, plus a dramatisation of her diaries Before Jane Austen, there was Fanny Burney. In the 1780s, she was England’s most celebrated female author, having achieved extraordinary success with two hit novels. She went on to become a royal servant, marry an exile from the French Revolution and undergo a gruelling mastectomy without the aid of anaesthetic – all events chronicled in her diaries, which were published posthumously to great acclaim. Contained here are dramatisations of her first and most famous novel, and her remarkable journals and letters. Evelina – Initially published anonymously, Fanny Burney’s witty epistolary account of a young woman’s introduction to the beau monde took Georgian London by storm. Brought up by her guardian since her mother died in childbirth and her father refused to acknowledge her, Evelina has spent her childhood in rural seclusion. But a letter from her grandmother and an invitation to London lead her into the dangerous and unfamiliar world of the Ton, where she meets a collection of fops, dandies and dastardly rakes – as well as the dashing Lord Orville. Can she navigate the traps and challenges of fashionable society to find true love? Laura Doddington stars as Evelina in this 10-part dramatisation of Burney’s satirical comedy of manners. Dear Little Burney – Beginning in 1778, when Evelina catapulted Fanny Burney to fame, this 15-part adaptation of her letters and diaries vividly portrays the most momentous events of her extraordinary life. From adjusting to her sudden celebrity to becoming wardrobe mistress to Queen Charlotte, witnessing George III’s madness, spending ten years in France during the Napoleonic Wars and enduring an agonising operation, we are swept up in her joys, anxieties and disappointments – and given an intimate glimpse into everyday life in 18th century London and Paris. Starring Juliet Aubrey as Fanny, with Timothy West, Eleanor Bron, Robert Whelan and June Barrie. Evelina first published in 1778 Diaries and letters first published 1842-1846 Production credits Written by Fanny Burney Adapted by Jennifer Howarth Produced and directed by Sara Davies Cast Evelina Evelina – Laura Doddington Mr Villars – Philip Manikum Caroline/Mrs Mirvan/Prostitute – Jacqueline Tong Lady Howard/Mrs Selwyn – Phyllida Nash Mr Lovel/Mr McCartney – John Mackay Lord Orville – Ian Kelly Sir Clement Willoughby – Andrew Collins Captain Mirvan/Sir John Belmont – Mark Buffery Madame Duval – Stephanie Cole Mr Branghton – Chris Harris Tom Branghton – Stuart Crossman Polly Esther – Ruth Elliott Monsieur du Bois/Officer/Coachman – James Anderson Dear Little Burney Fanny – Juliet Aubrey George III – Timothy West Queen Charlotte – Eleanor Bron Susan – Kate Seaward Dr Burney – Robert Whelan Charles/George – Chris Garner MrsThrale – Liz Morgan Mr Fairly/Mr Kemble – Andrew Hilton Prince of Wales – Andrew Collins Mrs De!any/Mrs Siddons – June Barrie Lowndes – David Collins Gent!eman – Paul Dodgson Miss Dewe – Caitlin Hobbs Dr Johnson – Bill Wallis Mrs Schwellenberg – Kim Hicks d'Arblay – Thierry Harcourt With Cornelius Garrett, Claire Marchionne, Angela Barlow, Ric Jerrom, Rob Hutchinson and Joshua Boyden © 2025 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd.

Protesting Too Much: A BBC Radio 4 Sitcom

"A hilarious 90’s BBC Radio 4 sitcom performed by an all-star cast Starring comedian John Fortune, best known for the satirical TV show Bremner, Bird and Fortune, and screen legend Eleanor Bron, Protesting Too Much is written by Sally Phillips and Kate Brooke. A classic comic caper that will have you in stitches. Set on the eve of the 1997 general election, bumbling Conservative MP George Dank climbs a tree in protest at the building of a new bypass through his constituency. The protest soon draws all the wrong kind of attention as smears hit the newspaper, orchestrated by the villainous Robbins. To make matters worse, university job cuts are looming, which means George could be soon joined by his scholarly wife, Hermione. Hermione’s hero is Dante and she can’t help finding parallels between the poet and her husband. As she falls in love all over again with her formally inept, but now seemingly dashing husband, things get complicated when their daughter Anne comes to join them too… Will the disaster-prone MP ever be able to climb down from his bypass protest? Is Hermione’s instruction of fellow protestors in medieval siege tactics really the best idea? And what on earth will they do with that stuffed owl? The battle rages and George is up a tree - can he save his family, the constituency and moreover, the day? Protesting Too Much writer Sally Phillips is an actor, comedian, and television presenter. Phillips is known for her roles in Jam & Jerusalem, I’m Alan Partridge and Miranda as well as playing the title role in the BBC Radio 4 comedy show Clare in the Community. Kate Brooke is a film and TV writer whose credits include Mr Selfridge and A Discovery of Witches. This hilarious sitcom also features cameos from broadcasting legends Brian Perkins and John Humphrys.

Fault Lines: Money, Sex and Blood: A BBC Radio 4 drama series

"Glenda Jackson stars in this compelling drama series inspired by Émile Zola's Rougon-Macquart series, highlighting different aspects of contemporary Britain In 2015, double Oscar winner Glenda Jackson made a triumphant return to acting in Radio 4's Blood, Sex and Money, a radical reimagining of Émile Zola's Rougon-Macquart cycle. Now, she reprises her role as matriarch/narrator in this eclectic mix of dramas inspired by Zola's novels, but set in modern Britain. Constance is confined to her sick bed and dying of motor neurone disease. Her body is paralysed, but her mind runs free, seeking out stories from the extended family she has long refused to acknowledge. As she delves into their lives, she uncovers dark secrets, lies and deceit. Has bad blood seeped down through the generations to corrupt them all, or is there a chink of light in the familial fault lines, where love and hope can flourish? In these three series, exploring British society through the lens of money, sex and blood, we meet the members of her flawed clan - from her son Miles, born into wealth and privilege, to her great-great-cousin Hannah and great-niece Natalie, struggling to survive in a world of zero-hours contracts, foodbanks and precarious social housing. Whether rich or poor, all have been shaped by the powerful driving forces of capitalism, desire and DNA... Written by a host of top dramatists including the award-winning Christopher Reason, Roy Williams, Eve Steele and Michael Symmons Roberts, these intimate, immersive dramas are performed by a stellar cast including Robert Glenister, Gillian Kearney, Don Gilet, Siobhan Finneran, Eleanor Bron and Rudolph Walker.
