Is Charlie Rowe 'The One'?

Lady Clementine Is Looking For Love

Available for over a year

Join Regency renegade Lady Clementine on her increasingly desperate quest to find love as she enters the world of modern dating. She鈥檚 tried everything to bag a man before her 27th birthday - wandering the armoury looking confused, bloodletting (just to feel something), and propositioning all her cousins (just the beefcakes, mind you). But disturbingly, nothing has worked 鈥 yet. Part poet, part arsonist and described as if 鈥淔lorence Pugh played Mr Bean in a corset鈥, Lady Clem is endearingly delusional and catastrophically self-absorbed. Like a Jane Austen novel that鈥檚 had too much gin, and far too much laudanum, she simply cannot fathom why love isn鈥檛 knocking down her door. So now, she鈥檚 attempting her last resort - celebrity dating. Enter her first date (semi-willingly), actor Charlie Rowe. Her mission? To find out if he could be 鈥楾he One鈥 and save her from spinsterdom. Can the trenches of modern dating played out in Lady Clem鈥檚 crumbling Regency world really be the path to romantic bliss? Written, created and starring Rosalie Minnitt With special guest Charlie Rowe Produced by Alison Vernon-Smith and Ella Blaxill Additional material by Tristan Robinson Sound Engineer: David Thomas Executive Producer: Eve Streeter A Raconteur Studios production for 麻豆社 Radio 4
