Publisher's Summary

A rollicking wartime comedy set in the personnel department of the Cabinet War Rooms, starring Fenella Woolgar as Dot.

Dot's had quite enough of making tea in the Cabinet War Rooms. When she finds a cryptic message in the newspaper she enlists the help of her gals – will this be the big break Dot's been waiting for?

Follow Dot as she gets squiffy over Agent Bertie Whiff-Whaff, concocts stirring yet pithy slogans for the war effort, and goes on a mission to St Horribly Vulture’s School for Boys to enlist a teacher for… “shhhh… Bletchley Park!”

Dot will do her bally utmost for King and Country in these spiffing tales of derring-do (and, occasionally, derring-don’t), whether investigating suspicious deaths, outwitting dastardly spies, or helping the Prime Minister with his French vocab.

Critic Reviews

"Little chills the blood so much as the phrase ‘new Radio 4 comedy’. But, dear reader, be un-chilled...a lovely, period-mocking script delivered with its eyebrow at precisely the right level of archness." - (The Times)

"Dot’s quirky wit is all of her own." (The Observer)

"Excellent, eccentrically comic." (The Daily Mail

A rollicking romp!

Love an acerbic wit?
Love your heroine to have a bit of a bite?
Love pithy one liners and a nod to the needs of the radio storytelling tropes?

I can not praise highly enough the story of Dot, helped and hindered by her War Room colleagues, as she tries her best to get ahead.

The storylines are fantastic, the actors superb and the sound effects outstanding. You will honestly laugh it loud as you listen (and hear something new as you listen again!).

Give it a listen, you won’t be disappointed!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
