Wooden Overcoats - The Complete Season!

12/11/2015

Our sitcom has reached over 15,000 downloads, and today picked up listeners in South Sudan and Syria. If you'd have told me at the beginning of the year that I'd later be able to type that sentence and have it actually mean something, I'd have told you to stop gibbering and get out of my bath. But here we are.

Wooden Overcoats.

All eight episodes of it.

Picking up from last week's cliffhanger, Episode Eight finds Rudyard in a stumper of a situation - and it seems only Antigone and Georgie can save him! There's plenty of twists and turns in our season finale, and I wouldn't dream of spoiling them here, but the episode reaches back to the very beginning of Episode One to reveal its shocking secrets, and there are changes afoot for Funn Funerals... It's bursting at the seams with characters, with Reverend Wavering (Andy Secombe) popping back for probably his largest role in the series, and Agatha Doyle (Alison Skilbeck), Mayor Desmond Desmond (Steve Hodson) and weary secretary Marjorie (Elle McAlpine) present and correct to see us out in style. There's also a few quick cameos from some other old favourites, but I'll let you discover them for yourself.

Most of all, it's the last chance to listen to the quintet of characters who've been front and centre throughout all eight episodes of Wooden Overcoats. The twitchy frustration of Antigone Funn (Beth Eyre), the enraging cheerfulness of Eric Chapman (Tom Crowley), the unflappable spirit of Georgie Crusoe (Ciara Baxendale), and the soothing tones of Madeleine (Belinda Lang). And most of all, that gloomy, fussy, manic, self-sabotaging little undertaker, Rudyard Funn (Felix Trench). 

I'll probably write a few words about the season as a whole later on, and we've still got our fourth Live Show to come on Monday 16th November so it doesn't quite feel over yet. But for those of you who've been listening to us whilst we've been rolling along: thank you. And to those of you who haven't heard a word of it, you've got four hours of hopefully humorous funereal fun ahead of you. We're all so, so proud of what we've achieved with this series and we just want as many people as possible to hear it.

You can listen to all eight episodes of Wooden Overcoats on iTunes or your preferred podcast client, or stream them on the official website.

Enjoy yourselves!
