Synopsis
Earlier this year, Radio 2 marked the 60th anniversary of Ray Galton and Alan Simpson's writing partnership with a series of half hour comedies, especially adapted by them for Radio 2. Here's another chance to enjoy the series starring Frank Skinner, Mitchell & Webb, Rik Mayall, June Whitfield and Paul Merton.
The second drama in the series, Impasse, stars David Mitchell and Robert Webb. A Rolls Royce and a banger meet in a very narrow country lane, somewhere in Cornwall, and both drivers refuse to back up. Between the AA, the RAC and the Cornish Constabulary, a solution is finally found. Temporarily.
The drama was one of Galton & Simpson's Comedy Playhouse Scripts for BBC television and first broadcast in 1963. This radio adaptation is introduced by Paul Merton.
