Summary

A rollicking wartime comedy set in the personnel department of the Cabinet War Rooms, starring Fenella Woolgar as Dot.

Dot's had quite enough of making tea in the Cabinet War Rooms. When she finds a cryptic message in the newspaper she enlists the help of her gals – will this be the big break Dot's been waiting for?

Follow Dot as she gets squiffy over Agent Bertie Whiff-Whaff, concocts stirring yet pithy slogans for the war effort, and goes on a mission to St Horribly Vulture’s School for Boys to enlist a teacher for… “shhhh… Bletchley Park!”

Dot will do her bally utmost for King and Country in these spiffing tales of derring-do (and, occasionally, derring-don’t), whether investigating suspicious deaths, outwitting dastardly spies, or helping the Prime Minister with his French vocab.

Critic reviews

"Little chills the blood so much as the phrase ‘new Radio 4 comedy’. But, dear reader, be un-chilled...a lovely, period-mocking script delivered with its eyebrow at precisely the right level of archness." - (The Times)

"Dot’s quirky wit is all of her own." (The Observer)

"Excellent, eccentrically comic." (The Daily Mail)

Not as broody as I thought it might be, absolutely great Audible book first class

Brilliant

One of my all time favourite radio comedies, Dot is a perfect antidote to overly sweet WW2 things where everyone’s a hero with a stiff upper lip. Dot herself is an antihero whose often vile behaviour had me laughing out loud, I’ll never think of Rats or Vera Lynn in the same way again!
