Originally aired on BBC Radio 4 in the 80′s, the story follows Casimir (Robert Prince), a young man whose life is altered dramatically when he turns his back on priesthood and leaves the seminary where he had grown up. Staying with his Mother’s friend, Mrs Anderson, at a house on Highbury Hill in North London, Casimir soon realises he has feelings for her kind hearted daughter, Ethel (Sarah Vennit), much to the disgust of her manipulative sister Marigold (Angela Bell), who wants to be with him and is determined to get her way.

We began recording in August for the programme that was also broadcast on BBC Television in the 70′s and now it’s complete we have decided to initially make it available on our website. We are hopeful that The House On Highbury Hill will be available elsewhere in the future so it can reach a larger audience, but for now we hope you enjoy this quirky drama.

Ethel – Sara Venitt

Mrs Anderson – Elaine Hayne

Mrs Hendrikson – Di Dean

Sheepsbere Bay is a radio series that follows the lives of locals at The Whale & Anchor, a pub in a fictional Dorset seaside town that is struggling in the current economic climate. Audio Factory has produced the comedy/drama pilot on behalf of Somerset based writer and director John Stephens, who has brought together a fantastic cast from across the South West.

Sheepsbere Bay is a funny and warm, albeit crude comedy with colourful characters that provide plenty of laughs. The pilot will initially be made available to download in podcast format with a view to being commissioned for radio. Recording took place on September 13th, 2011 and the episode is now available to download or stream on our website.  For more details about Sheepsbere Bay, including cast information and a full series and episode synopsis, please click here.

While we have initially released the programme in podcast format, Live at Orchard will be broadcast on a number of community radio stations across the South West in the near future. An announcement with more details on when and where it can be heard will be made in the coming months.
