About this listen

A sensory smash as an all-star cast delight in this unique six-part comedy drama

A stellar line up of stars, including Celia Imrie (The Crown), Joan Sims (Carry On), Alex Jennings (The Lady in the Van), Geoffrey Palmer (As Time Goes By) and Lynda Bellingham (Loose Women), play a cast of moving and memorable characters in this brilliant six-part comedy drama. Let these sensory delights take you into the classic five senses we know… plus the other one.

In Hearing, Celia Imrie is embroiled in an affair conducted via tape cassette-recorded messages. The scenario conjures up a few problems with the sense of hearing…

Touch is the story of a busy doctor's surgery failing its patients. That is until the loyal receptionist discovers she has a remarkable gift. Starring Polly James and Simon McBurney.

A retired MP becomes a self-appointed one-man Moral Watch Committee trying to improve his sleepy Cornish village in Sight. Unfortunately his plans have the opposite effect. Things get stranger when a mysterious film crew arrives...

Alex Jennings stars in Taste, the story of a 14th-century Italian food taster who must protect his master when they visit the Borgias. Things get complicated when the Pope is unexpectedly announced as a dinner guest.

It’s the Boxing Day fox hunt in Smell, and throwing off the scent poses problems for the hunters and the hunted alike. Featuring Lynda Bellingham and Maurice Denham as a couple ahead of the pack.

Finally, Geoffrey Palmer and Joan Sims star in The Sixth Sense, where conversation becomes far from neighbourly when the occupants of an old cemetery greet a new arrival and discover their lack of common ground.

These pitch-perfect stories were penned by writer, director and actor Bob Sinfield. Sinfield was on the writing teams for some of the biggest sketch comedy programmes on TV and radio including The Right Time and The News Huddlines as well as The Lenny Henry Show and Three of a Kind.
