Think of Flora as an adult version of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. However, Flora uses her joyfulness, wisdom, and keen observation skills to organize everyone’s life for the better. This would have most people running away from them.
But no one will say what that disservice is.įlora finds over-the-top oddball characters make up the Starkadder family. They have extended their rustic farm home to Flora because of ‘a grave disservice done to her father’ by the Starkadder patriarch. This format of Cold Comfort Farm is a BBC Radio dramatization of the 1995 film adapted from the 1932 novel.įlora Poste (20) a budding novelist comes to stay with her cousins, the Starkadders, in Sussex. Stella Gibbons' deliciously witty parody has been delighting readers since 1932 and retains its original sunny charm in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation. Many would be overcome by the simmering passions of the Starkadder family, but not Flora. There she is confronted by an exceptionally odd cast of characters: grief-stricken Judith, fervently religious Amos, the lusty smouldering Seth, wild and mysterious Elfine and, of course, the invisible tyrant Great Aunt Ada Doom who saw something nasty in the woodshed. Casting around for suitable relatives with whom she can make her home, Flora alights on the mysterious Starkadders and, ignoring the horrified shrieks of her friends, heads down to darkest Sussex. Strong of will and slender of ankle, 20-year-old orphan Flora Poste is blessed with every virtue save that of being able to earn her own living. Patricia Gallimore and Miriam Margolyes star in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of the classic comic novel.
