Tomorrow, Today

Tomorrow, Today! is a radio sitcom written by Christopher William Hill, broadcast on BBC Radio 4 between 2006 and 2008. It was itself a spoof of radio science fiction dramas of the late 1950s and early 1960s. The writer was Christopher William Hill. The sitcom takes place in a BBC studio in 1961, where a group of "bright young things" and aging actors produce a futuristic drama set in the year 2006, containing space flight, ray guns, and contact with aliens. The lead roles are played by Nigel Lavery (Peter Bowles) and Sylvia Hann (Cheryl Campbell) who hate their jobs only slightly more than they hate each other. Their off-mike conversations are laced with carping comments and innuendo about each other's long-lost youth and popularity. Sylvia was once the voice of "Listen with Mother". The "comic relief" for the radio production is provided by a stereotypical Welshman, "Taffy" Jones, played by a non-Welsh actor, Douglas Bennings (Jon Glover). Both series are regularly rebroadcast on Radio 4 Extra.
