Save Our Souls

Save Our Souls (Volume Six). Author Keith Matthews was a vastly talented actor, musician, theatre director, performed playwright and charity bookshop manager. He performed in many plays and his artistic career lasted over forty five years. As well as being an expert on the UK radio game show Just a Minute (on which he contributed to two published books) he also found time to write a large number of plays, sitcom episodes, poems, short stories and novel length works. 'Save Our Souls' (or SOS) is the first of a collection of sit-com screenplays set in a charity shop that show his talent, his outrageous sense of humour, and his ability to create huge yet deep characters. ".... He picks you up when you are down and makes you think throughout...." In this edition of Save Our Souls: Volume Six, we have the last three episodes of what is the third series. In total there will be three series of six episodes, plus special episodes. Included in this edition are the episodes: 'All Pads And The Patter Of Six Tiny Feet', 'Where There's Smoke There's Celluloid' & 'There's A Circus Up Blectons Ring.' Once again we follow volunteer charity shop workers Norma, Cherie, Rapido, Francesco, Garry, Edgar and Nathaniel, Sally, Delford, Rocky, Minnie & Sister Maria (and a host of other new characters) battle to find a way to keep the shop running and the charity donations coming in; as we see the lead up to the aftermath of the Steph and Vaneeta comeuppance unfold. Will our gang be able to keep them away or is it only a matter of time before the devilish duo return? ".... What would I be doin' with a vegetable? Do yer nay think I've got enough vegetable's in me life with legs like mine? .... No a vegetable now, you say, but a weed? A WEED?! Yer talkin' in riddles.... My flat's surrounded by weeds. I've been on at the cooncil fer months ter get rid 'o the bastards that keep springin' oop around ma hoose. Worse than triffids...!"
