Save Our Souls

".... Well, let's face it.... God di'nt give She-Who-Mustn't-Be-Named much in the looks department ter begin with.... So when yer showerin' in dosh like she is.... Yer go fer it. A couple of snips later and Godzilla's become a goddess...." Save Our Souls: Volume Five. 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 Five, we have the first 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 Things Weird and Wonderful', 'Big Hands On My Entrance' & 'Many A Gateway Can Be Opened.' Once again we follow volunteer charity shop workers Norma, Cherie, Rapido, Francesco, Garry, Edgar and Nathaniel, Sally, Rocky (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 dreaded return of Steph and Vaneeta. Have they really turned over a new leaf or will this be the beginning of the end for our dedicated gang?
