Publisher's Summary

A BBC Radio 4 'Afternoon Play' starring Bill Nighy as widower Christopher, originally broadcast on 20 April 2011.

When his wife died three years ago, Christopher fled London for a simpler existence in Cornwall, where he has settled on bat protection as his mission. Colette and her noisy daughters rent the holiday cottage next door and disturb the peace - both his and that of his beloved bats.

The Bat Man stars Bill Nighy, Katherine Parkinson, Jenny Agutter, Sean Baker, Lauren Mote and Georgia Groome.

Short but sweet

Very enjoyable listen. Bill Nighy is always good to hear, as are Katherine Parkinson and Jenny Agutter. Compact storyline with delightful description of countryside/holiday setting. Wish it has been a slightly longer play.
