Geoffrey Allerton
Yorkshire's acclaimed poet performs at the Mallard Theatre and struggles to get a hot meal. With Arabella Weir. From April 2011.
Simon Day and his characters welcome you to The Mallard, a small provincial theatre somewhere in the UK.
Each week one of them comes to perform - with highlights of that night's show along plus all the backstage and front-of-house happenings.
First on stage, it's the acclaimed Yorkshire poet, Geoffrey Allerton.
Geoffrey reads poems and excerpts from his recent memoir "Marking Time", as well as struggling to get a hot meal from sound and lighting technician, Goose.
Meanwhile in the bar, two local mums are getting to know each other over several bottles of wine.
