BBC radio are repeating Eddie Robson’s fabulous sitcom Welcome To Our Village, Please Invade Carefully. If you haven’t listened yet, it’s about an alien invasion of a small English village, cutting the inhabitants off from the outside world - which given the outside world at the moment, seems quite appealing.

If you could take a break in a fictional world or a fictional version of the real world, where would it be? A writing retreat in a forgotten corner of Gormenghast castle? A month in Venice as described by Proust in A la Recherche du Temps Perdu? A swift half at the The Flying Swan in Robert Rankin’s Brentford? I’d love to know.
