Two Pipe Problems Series 7, Episode 2 - The House on the Marsh - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)

Further details
This week marks the centenary of the birth of Benjamin Britten, and his opera Peter Grimes is woven into this final episode.
The opera is set in Aldeburgh, on the Suffolk coast from which Britten drew so much inspiration. Writer Michael Chaplin was inspired to create a story that drew on that landscape and the creation of Peter Grimes, but also paid homage to the genius of MR James' ghost story, Oh Whistle And I'll Come You, My Lad.
