Following a successful pilot, Rum Punch will return to BBC Radio 4 for a full four-part series, beginning on Thursday 27th November at 6.30pm.
Written by and starring Travis Jay, the series follows a multigenerational family as they juggle pursuit of their individual ambitions with their responsibilities to the family business - a Caribbean restaurant in the heart of Lewisham. Travis stars as Marley, a conflict-averse aspiring boxer who works in his parents’ restaurant. The series picks up where the pilot left off, with Marley enrolling in a local gym to develop his (non-existent) boxing talent, against the rest of the family’s wishes.
The pilot of Rum Punch aired on BBC Radio 4 last year, resulting in a BBC Audio Drama award for best sitcom.
