When The Pips Stop
4 Extra Debut. The story of two sisters learning to live together without their cherished Radio 4. Stars Shauna McDonald and Jessica Hardwick.
It’s 2:13pm on a remote Scottish island where the only inhabitants are two sisters.
One of them hasn’t spoken to the other for over two years.
They’re listening to The Archers, and then BBC Radio 4 goes off-air.
Now they have to learn to live together and without the one thing they each cherish: Radio 4.
Written by By Oliver Emanuel.
