Gloomsbury

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gloomsbury was a BBC Radio 4 comedy sitcom which gently parodied the lives, loves and works of the Bloomsbury Group. It was written by Sue Limb and five series were produced, in 2012, 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018.[1]

Cast

[edit]

The character names were punning parodies of prominent members of the Bloomsbury Group and other characters of the day:

Each episode covered the various personal shenanigans and literary endeavours of the group, influenced by contemporary mores and events.

Theme music

[edit]

The theme for all episodes was "You're Driving Me Crazy", written in 1930, which could be considered rather late in the history of the Bloomsbury Group, and performed by The Temperance Seven.

Production

[edit]

The series was written by Sue Limb and produced by Little Brother Productions for the BBC.[1]
