A Village in Crisis

Neil McDiarmid / Lee Phillips•shows.acast.com

Society & Culture

Comedians, Lee and Neil, hilariously dissect the nonsense that people write about on Neil's village Facebook page.

Neil lives in a rural and fairly affluent village, but things are changing. What was once the epitome of a traditional, English countryside, idyll has gone to the dogs. If things keep going the way they are, then the village might just descend into the depths of hell. How long can the residents put up with this lawless society? I'll tell you. Not for much longer, and if they heard what Lee had to say about them, it might just tip them over the edge.
