SCUTTLED
Starring Christopher Eccleston and Joyce Branagh, SCUTTLED is a full-cast, 5
episode audio drama following the Ashworths, a family living and working on the Rochdale Canal between 1840 and 1922. Inspired by the scuttled boats unearthed in Rochdale by real-life archaeological excavations, and drawing on detailed research, this poignant and moving saga brings to life the lost world of Northern England’s bargees.

ALL THE BENS
Ben, a young gay man who – unemployed, skint and lonely – is in danger of drifting into depression. But his life changes when he has a one night stand with Al, a handsome charmer who – to the least – is pretty mixed up about the whole ‘gay’ thing. Ben, of course, falls for him. It all seems hopeless, except Ben has someone who’s very much on his side. His half brother Henry, who, through his neurodiversity, has a very unique take on the world.
