THE Druid’s Rest stands on the edge of Wales, somewhere a little to the west of reality. Reluctant landlords Gareth and Diane struggle to keep the pub from falling into debt and off the cliff. They also have to deal with the weird locals — as well as visitors from the supernatural world that surrounds their mystical village. Elis James and Emma Sidi star in a new run of the beguiling drama CURIOUS UNDER THE STARS (RADIO 4, 10.45AM, 7.45PM), written by Annamaria Murphy.

GARY and Melissa Taylor (Shane Richie and Hannah Waddingham) move into their new home. They splash out on a housewarming party and invite their new neighbours round. Gary and Melissa’s idea of a good time turns out to be a lot brasher and noisier than anyone else’s in the street.

In fact, everything about THE TAYLORS (RADIO 2,

10PM) is too brash and noisy for their new neighbourhood in Simon Carlyle’s comedy.

JULIAN CLARY (pictured) is our host for CENSORED

(RADIO 2, 10.30PM), a panel game that makes heavy use of the studio bleeper to keep things decent. His guests are Dane Baptiste, Rachel Parris and Arlene Phillips. They’ll be listening to celebrity sound bites, TV clips and interviews with members of the public, and trying to work out what is going on beneath the bleeps.
