In the bleak, weary days of post-war rationing, the tight-knit community of Pimlico, London, is shattered by the accidental detonation of an unexploded WWII bomb. But the crater reveals more than just rubble—it unearths a forgotten medieval charter proving that the neighborhood legally belongs to the ancient Duchy of Burgundy. Realizing they are technically foreign soil, the ecstatic residents shred their ration books, tear up the bureaucratic rulebook, and declare total independence right in the heart of London. No more coupons, no more restrictions, and no more British taxes! But the British Government isn’t about to let a rogue state operate on their doorstep. As Whitehall cuts off the water and sets up border checkpoints, the new "Burgundians" fight back with fierce, comedic solidarity—hijacking underground trains for passport control and rationing their own supplies. Starring legendary British talent George Cole and Louise Lombard, this delightful BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatization perfectly captures the eccentric wit, underdog spirit, and timeless charm of the classic Ealing comedy. A brilliant, heartwarming satire about bureaucracy, community, and the ultimate triumph of the "little guy."
