This is a slightly surreal comedy set in the State of Slomzovakia, recently liberated from the vast Soviet Union. The first series was writen by David Stafford, who was joined by Carolyn Stafford for the second, and sadly didn't get as much publicity as it should have. Starring Morwenna Banks, Josie Lawrence, and Adam Long, and Produced by Dirk Maggs, the show was aired in the regular Radio 4 early evening comedy slot (6.30pm), Tuesdays for the first series, and Thursdays for the second. The second also got a repeat in the late night comedy slot on Radio 4 of a Tuesday evening.
