If you enjoyed The Goon Show, Blackadder, Monty Python or the works of P.G.Wodehouse, we reckon you’ll love The Gin Chronicles. A vintage, radio-style comedy that picks you up and takes you into a world of mischief, mayhem, live sound effects and 1940s derring-do that’ll have you leaving with a great big smile on your face.
John Jobling is an endearing upper-class half-wit who stumbles across amateur detection as a pastime. Doris Golightly is his erstwhile housemaid who ends up being his assistant in order to stop him from wandering into ridiculous situations, with mixed results.
In this adventure, they seek to thwart a nazi plot to steal all of the country’s juniper berries and, by extension, deny this Sceptred Isle its gin supply: the absolute cads!
With our very own gin distilled by Master Distiller Stuart Brown at the Deerness Distillery on Orkney, along with some wonderful highly-rated, premium tonics from Wildleaf Drinks (a London-based company). So slip on something vintage and come & join The Misfits of London in 1947.
