Penne Arrabbiata No Chips

Episode 1 of 4

From the top of Blackpool Tower, caretaker Bob Braithwaite spies on a wedding organiser. Stars David Holt. From August 2001.

Bob Braithwaite is caretaker at the top of Blackpool Tower.

He's also a 鈥榳atcher鈥� who sees everything through his high-powered binoculars - the 鈥榤agic knockers of destiny鈥� as he calls them.

In this episode, he observes Clinton J Beesley 鈥� self-proclaimed 'King Of The Weddings' and proprietor of 'Nuptial World' - everything from a cufflink to a Daimler - who is hosting a dinner for his 25th wedding anniversary.

Unfortunately after one too many glasses of 'Vulgarro' at the local Italian, Clinton's wife Janet reveals more than anyone bargained for, and their marriage unravels on the spot.

Written by and starring David Holt.

Producer: Dawn Ellis

First broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in August 2001.
