THE MANY WRONGS OF LORD CHRISTIAN BRIGHTY
A new Radio 4 sitcom about a hedonistic Regency-era aristocrat who has an epiphany and decides he must right all his many past misdeeds, accompanied by his radical chambermaid Babs and very reluctant butler Churlington. Think 'Bridgerton' and 'Poldark' mashed up with ‘My Name Is Earl’.Lord Christian Brighty is the talk of the Regency Ton - a celebrated libertine, a heartthrob and a hero to many. But close-up, he is a spoilt, impetuous, life-ruining bastard… or at least he was. Because his previously carefree life of casual debauchery, non-stop revelry and infinite privilege has been upended by an unfortunate accident (shot by a cannon after a new servant’s hazing ritual goes awry) and an even more unfortunate period of recovery, where his intended victim - uneducated but forthright chambermaid Babbigail (Babs for short) - decides straight-talking is the best medicine and thus becomes the first person ever to tell him the unvarnished truth about himself and the consequences of his actions.
So now, with his narcissism collapsing and faith in the system shattered, Lord Brighty is determined to fix all his past wrongs - and by extension all the ills of Regency society. Accompanying him in his quest are Babs (elevated beyond her station to a chambermaid-cum-adviser role) and dutiful butler Churlington – who would really just like everything to stay exactly as it used to be (as would all Brighty’s friends, family and the entirety of high society).
Written by award-winning comedians Christian Brighty and Amy Greaves, whose sketches based on Bridgerton, Poldark and Jane Austen (@brightybuoy) have catapulted them to viral stardom, with over 100 million views across TikTok and Instagram - securing Christian’s place as the internet’s answer to Mr Darcy, and earning them a nomination for a Writer’s Guild Award.
The show was recorded in Hoxton Hall, London N1 6SH.

We all remember the Kumars and their only son Sanjeev’s dreams of being a famous chat show host. How his obliging parents bulldozed the garden at their modest family home to build him a TV studio and make his dreams come true, whilst also (along with his unconventional grandmother) insisting on embarrassing him in front of every guest. Yet over the years, the great and the good from the worlds of stage, screen and sport flocked to be on The Kumars’ show. And now, the mischievous family has returned! A little older, more experienced but none the wiser.Starring Sanjeev Bhaskar, Meera Syal, Vincent Ebrahim and Shaheen Khan plus some very special guests, Meet The Kumars was recorded at BBC Elstree Studios in Borehamwood.
