Title: Phil Ellis is Trying: The Complete Series 1-3: A BBC Radio 4 Comedy drama Author: Phil Ellis, Fraser Steele Narrator: Amy Gledhill, Phil Ellis, Lolly Adefope, Johnny Vegas Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 27 minutes Release date: March 25, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: All 12 episodes of the anarchic radio sitcom about a man desperate to succeed in a world he doesn't understand Phil's trying to keep his business afloat, and pay the rent. He's trying to get over his ex-wife, who divorced him three years ago. He's trying to be a better person. He's trying - boy, is he trying. He just needs a bit of a break (and a lot of luck) and things will surely start looking up... Series 1 sees him going on a date with Ellie Evans, the florist next door; hosting an awards ceremony; organising a short-notice wedding (and falling in love with the bride) and getting a job as a takeaway delivery driver. Meanwhile, his assistant Lolly attends a funeral to take advantage of the free buffet, and comes to Johnny's aid when he gets trapped in a Dalek... In Series 2, Phil tries to win a big cash prize in a pinball championship; accidentally joins a gym-based cult; discovers his Dad is not dead but living in his loft and goes undercover to investigate the mayor's philandering husband. It's a case Phil's desperate to crack - but will he like what he finds? Finally, Series 3 finds Phil and Johnny embarking on a magical tour of the Cup A Soup factory, hosted by reclusive owner Billy Bonker. If only the other people on the tour weren't so set on getting themselves killed... Plus, Phil reconnects with his Dad (again), only to be disappointed (again); puts on a ghost walk - but has competition in the shape of Mick the Chinese herbalist; and faces the loss of his liberty and his reputation when he's accused of murdering a hipster... Created and written by Phil Ellis (Edinburgh Award Panel Prize winner 2014) and Fraser Steele (I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, 8 Out Of Ten Cats), this madcap sitcom stars Phil Ellis as himself, Lolly Adefope as Lolly, Johnny Vegas as Johnny, Katia Kvinge as Ellie and Amy Gledhill as Polly.
