John Roberts directs this romantic comedy following a pair of sisters who head to Cuba to scatter the ashes of their deceased father. Rosa (Eva Birthistle), a committed socialist, is determined to rescue the memory of her father from the fate her stepmother has planned: using his ashes to make a golf trophy. In tribute to her father's glamorous past as a revolutionary who once visited Cuba, she steals the ashes and heads to the Caribbean island in the company of her more materialistic sister Ailie (Charity Wakefield) and their friend Conway (Bryan Dick). They come face-to-face with both the good and bad of the island in the form of conman Ernesto (Christopher Simpson) and protective tour guide Tomas (Carlos Acosta). How will the experience change them?
Matthew Beard and Sophie Rundle star in a brand new BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of the bestselling novel by Neil Gaiman, narrated by Eleanor Bron. Challenged to retrieve a fallen star, Tristran Thorn leaves the sleepy English village of Wall and crosses into the land of Faerie and the realm of Stormhold. Locating the star, he discovers it is no meteorite, but a young woman, Yvaine. When Yvaine evades him and escapes, Tristran discovers he is not the only one in pursuit of the star: there are dark forces in this magical land, and he must find Yvaine before she falls into their clutches. As he does so, Tristran will uncover the secret to his own identity and a fate beyond his wildest dreams. Directed by Dirk Maggs and Heather Larmour, and featuring over 35 minutes of unbroadcast material, this stunning new dramatisation boasts an extensive cast including Frances Barber, Maggie Steed, Nicholas Boulton, Blake Ritson, Bryan Dick, Charlotte Riley, Aisling Loftus, Sanjeev Bhaskar and Alex Macqueen. There are also cameo appearances by Tori Amos and Neil Gaiman. Duration: 2 hours 30 mins approx.
