4. A Night To Forget
Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders star as respected novelist Florence and movie star Selina, in a sparkling comedy series about two sisters at war, by Veep writer David Quantick.
In the final episode of the series, there鈥檚 a death in the family as well as an imminent birth, while Florence gets her ideal job 鈥� lecturing people about her work. Soon everyone is literally in the same boat together, in a scenario reminiscent of a Tom Hanks movie where he plays a captain (no, not that one).
The first series of Whatever Happened To Baby Jane Austen? won the Writers鈥� Guild Award for Best Radio Comedy and the second series won the British Comedy Guide Award for Best Radio Sitcom for the second year in a row.
