Whatever Happened To...? A BBC Radio Comedy of Ultimate Sequels

One of the recent audiobooks I listened to was: "Whatever Happened To...? A BBC Radio Comedy of Ultimate Sequels." This was written by Adrian Mourby. 

["Have you ever wondered what became of the protagonists from your favourite childhood stories? Well, wonder no more: in these hilarious mockumentaries, the astonishing afterlives of some of the most famous figures in fiction are revealed...

The scourge of smugglers and the stalwart of the Famous Five, George, reflects on her life - and divulges the fate of the rest of the adventurous gang; Cinderella's siblings The Ugly Sisters speak out, giving their versions of what happened after the ball; Doctor Who's granddaughter Susan discloses the real story of her travels in time and space; and The Big Bad Wolf gives a perfectly plausible explanation for his behaviour towards the Three Little Pigs and Red Riding Hood's granny.

We also follow the fortunes of Billy Bunter's beastly form master Horace Henry Samuel Quelch, angelic aristocrat Little Lord Fauntleroy, Popeye, Pinocchio, Mowgli, Postman Pat, The Seven Dwarves and Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. Their fates may surprise and even shock you - but they're sure to make you laugh."]

I loved this. I didn't 100% every character. But it was still hilarious. There were multiple actors playing multiple parts, each having their own voice and personality. The episodes went into pre-stories, stories, and post-stories. They interviewed so many people in these character's lives. It retold and turned these classic fairy tales on their heads. It was glorious. 

If you like audiobooks or fairytales or accents, you need to check this out!!
