Six BBC Radio dramatisations of short stories from the master of comedy, P. G. Wodehouse. Mr Mulliner is a pub raconteur with an endless supply of improbable tales featuring his innumerable relations. There is the story of ''Honeysuckle Cottage'', haunted by the spirit of a romantic novelist set on forcing marital bliss on the unwilling resident. ''A Slice of Life'' also features a spooky old house, plus a young heiress and a determined suitor. ''The Smile that Wins'' centres on a dyspeptic detective whose grisly grin is his secret weapon, while ''Open House'' is an account of frightening aunts, terrifying ingenues and resourceful butlers. ''Came the Dawn'' is a tale of indomitable love, parental obstruction and unexpected opportunities and the final yarn, ''Mulliner''s Buck-U-Uppo'', tells of a pale curate rendered fearless after the ingestion of a miracle potion. Starring Richard Griffiths as Mr Mulliner.
