Seasons

1. The Spirit of Christmas

Air Date: 2019-12-23

Santa’s come to town to solve a little girl’s holiday woes, but there’s no Xmas cheer as he drinks too much sherry, an elf is trapped in the set, and a magical snowman is eaten alive.

2. The Pilot (Not the Pilot)

Air Date: 2020-01-03

Our amateur dramatists stage a WW2 drama, rarely performed because of its historical inaccuracy, that’s bedeviled by collapsing sets, a missing actor, and machines with minds of their own.

3. A Trial to Watch

Air Date: 2020-01-10

A legal drama is to be performed this week, but a set-design problem baffles the stage crew. Throw in a nervous first-time actor, and it’s a recipe for theatrical disaster.

4. The Lodge

Air Date: 2020-01-17

A horror story, set in a crumbling old house, becomes a horror show as the play runs short and the actors end up falling off, out of, and through the rickety set.

5. Harper's Locket

Air Date: 2020-01-24

A period romance this week—hindered by a ceiling fan that threatens decapitation and a rain effect that might flood the entire set. There’s also a horse. And a cat.

6. 90 Degrees

Air Date: 2020-01-31

A family saga of lust and betrayal set in the hot Deep South gets a trial by fire when it’s ruined by a set. To fix the problem, life and limb are put at risk and gravity is ignored.

1. Summer Once Again

Air Date: 2021-09-27

A coup in the ranks means that Robert is in charge of this week’s show, and he is not going to accept the usual shambolic standards as they present a Downton-esque family saga.

2. The Most Lamentable...

Air Date: 2021-10-04

Chris returns to the leadership of the Cornley Drama Society and puts on a production of a little-known play by Shakespeare. Colin Shakespeare, that is.
