Each episode is a monologue from a different town inhabitant, recounting a moment from Harford's past: a disastrous bid to build the world's tallest building, a battle reenactment that spirals into a Cold War-era dictatorship, and more. Written, produced and performed by Dan Hooper (BBC Radio 4's The News Quiz, The Now Show).</p><p><br></p><p>Winner, Golden Lobes Best Scripted Comedy 2025.
