Ben ...... Reece Shearsmith
Graham ...... Julian Rhind-Tutt
Jane ...... Katy Wix
Beverley ...... Alison Steadman
Atmospheric sitcom written by Katy Wix.
It鈥檚 Ben鈥檚 trip of a lifetime, but in a vast icy landscape with dodgy internet. Feeling lonely, he shares his thoughts via an audio 'log' on his dictaphone.
Graham is a fellow nerdy scientist so their exchanges are mumbled. Ben鈥檚 even more awkward around new arrival Jane, though he鈥檚 not entirely sure why.
Producer: Tilusha Ghelani
