Elvenquest Anil Gupta
Stephen Mangan, Alistair McGowan and Sophie Winkleman star in this fantastical BBC Radio 4 comedy by Anil Gupta and Richard Pinto. Sam (Stephen Mangan - Green Wing) is a fantasy novelist who is whisked off to a Tolkien-style parallel universe by a noble elf, a sexy warrior princess (Sophie Winkleman - Peep Show, Red Dwarf) and a feisty dwarf called Dean. Why? Because Sam's dog is the Chosen One who is destined to save 'Lower Earth' from the evil Lord Darkness (Alistair McGowan - Alistair McGowan's Big Impression). For fans of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Lord of the Rings and Hordes of the Things, this is an epic story of adventure, kinship, romance and dog biscuits. ElvenQuest also stars Darren Boyd (Saxondale, Smack the Pony) as Vidar the Elf Lord, Kevin Eldon (Hyperdrive, Big Train) as Dean the Dwarf and Dave Lamb (Moving Wallpaper) as Amis. Written by Richard Pinto (The Armstrong & Miller Show) and Anil Gupta (The Office), this recording contains all six episodes of the original BBC Radio 4 series.
