Robin and Wendy's Wet Weekends

Sitcom about a couple who own a model village
from archive.org

A BBC Radio comedy drama about two model-village obsessives and their friends and neighbours


Childless couple Robin and Wendy have developed an obsession with Mayfield - the model village they've built in their garage. However, running a model village is more complicated than they expected, especially as they live next-door to Derek, a former superstar salesman who is struggling with the erratic side effects of mental health medication, and Maureen, who is always getting involved in get-rich-quick schemes.


In this collection, Robin and Wendy attend a Civil War re-enactment with their randy friends Sue and Glen, rediscover camping with Derek and his teenage sons, and go on a salsa weekend in Bognor. Plus, Wendy is promoted at work - on the same day Robin is suspended - and tragedy strikes when Robin gets run over by a forklift truck. Will the model village remain at the centre of Robin and Wendy's world? Or will life, and their friends, get in the way?
