Meet Mr Mulliner (11.30am R4) Readers of P G Wodehouse may be familiar with the Angler's Rest, the drinking establishment frequented by Mr Mulliner and friends. Mulliner is the great raconteur famed for sitting at the bar and regaling the regulars with tales of his various family members' adventures. Similarly set at the Angler's Rest, Roger Davenport's excellent drama features a cast of familiar Wodehouse characters, including Mulliner (played by Richard Griffiths) and the barmaid Miss Postlethwaite (Matilda Ziegler, right, with Griffith).
