Jane Asher stars in a four-part comedy drama written by Lynne Truss. Susan is determined that for half an hour every week, she’ll find time to watch her favourite old TV show, Mrs Milliner. The trouble is Susan finds it hard to say no and each time she settles down to watch the telly, she’s inevitably interrupted – for starters by a rather incompetent window cleaner. If only she could be more like TV’s Mrs Milliner, a forceful captain-of-industry-type woman. She’s not only ruthless about getting her own way, but also makes the most fantastical hats! Mrs Milliner .... Jane Asher Susan .... Caroline Harker Gerald .... Jonathan Coy Gordon .... Jason Hughes Elsie/ Lady Hannington .... Beth Chalmers Lord Hannington /Cockney Driver .... Stephen Critchlow Producer Dawn Ellis First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in July 2003.
