    Coronavirus Catch-Up

    Hello and welcome to the latest in a series of occasional podcasts from Grunty Fennery. Mr South has spent the coronavirus lockdown doing what Mrs South wants, which is mostly for him to keep out of her way. However, he has been worried about how the extraordinary situation has affected his friends in Grunty Fen. Trouble is, he’s had the devil’s own job trying to get hold of Miss Edwards at the Post Office and General Stores to find out. In this episode of the Grunty Fencast, Mr South tries again, like the dogged, determined journalist he is. The program is introduced by Martin Carman.

    Who's Who in Grunty Fen

    Christopher South has written another new book called "Who's Who of Grunty Fen". In this episode of the Grunty Fencast Christopher introduces some of the characters that he came across in researching Who's Who. It's all entirely fictional of course so any similarity between Chris' Grunty Fen characters and anybody living, dead or yet to be born is entirely coincidental. As a reward to yourself this is followed by a episode of the Dennis of Grunty Fen radio show broadcast by the BBC in 1988 and called "Cricket": Dennis struggles with his cricket whites and with his "trouble". The program is introduced by Carol Carman.
