Bed Among the Lentils - Susan is a failure when it comes to jam-making and flower-arranging and isn't at all sure about God. unfortunately for her she is married to Geoffrey, a popular and respected vicar who treats her in an intensely patronising manner and expects her to conform to her role as vicar's wife at all times.

A Lady of Letters/HerBig Chance/A Cream Cracker Under The Settee - T0802283632

Website. In A Lady of Letters, Miss Ruddock writes letters not, unfortunately, social communications filled with harmless news - but letters of complaint, comment and, occasionally, officious praise to various businesses and government departments. In Her Big Chance, Lesley, an actress, has just completed a video in which she plays Travis, a career girl who enjoys life, spends a remarkable amount of time topless and shoots a man with a harpoon gun. She tells all, blind to the sinister undertones of her story as well as to her own self delusions and gullibility. A Cream Cracker Under the Settee features Doris, a widow who lives alone. Refusing to relinquish her independence she cleans a high picture rail when her home help is absent. The day goes on; unable to get help, Doris reminisces about her quiet, uneventful life with its joys and sadnesses.Company Duston Players.

Her Big Chance - 'My hobby is people' says Lesley 'I collect people' - An admirable trait in a aspiring actress except that sadly, Lesley's career highlights so far seems to have been as background in a 'finger buffet' in Crossroads. Then a casual meeting at a party leads to her big chance. Should she be worried that the film she's up for is aimed at the video market....In Germany and Turkey? Or that, when it comes to her costume Gunther, the director, seems to feel that less is more? Maybe not! After all, as she points out, 'acting is really just giving'.Company Big Note Productions.
