Mr Custa

Category: Behind The Story

Here is a collection of all of the articles on this website which also feature an extra “Behind The Story” section direct from the pen (well, keyboard actually) of Mr Custa’s creator and lead writer (or showrunner) Phil Whitmore.

Covering the original radio stories, the newer comic strip tales, and even the cartoon and stage presentation, this is where you can find out more about the inspiration behind the stories, original titles, alternative titles, and also what may or may not have happened during their production.

It may not be sugar coated, but there is a good dollop of marmite in there. Somewhere.
