Sara (Sia) Beamish’s story!

I SO loved this one, and I’m glad that it was finally “officially” broadcast on Cannock Chase Radio in 2020.

She clearly knew the characters very well, more than me (the original creator) and I remember that she had originally written this story, but due to a corrupted memory stick, it had to be re-written again, possibly from memory.

I also like the fact that the series ends, not with the world ending or a character dying, but with business as usual- Mr Custa’s awful singing.
