The Bigger Issues
A group of inept actors set out to change the world through drama.
Series 1 - In what is easily the most important radio series ever made, Keith Daniels plans to change the world through drama, and nobody is going to stop him, except his cast.
Series 2 - Keith, Dan and Francis continue their mission to make the world a safer, fairer, kinder place.
And if they have to kill a few people along the way then so be it.
Series 3 - The Bigger Issues team is back, but this time their campaign against injustice is a bit hampered by them being in prison.
How did they get there? Of one thing each of them is certain, the other two are to blame.
