Alternatively download Listen to Gite a la Mer here As part of our celebration of beach huts this week (see issue, August 2, 2007), we are running a podcast of the play Gite a la Mer, first broadcast on Radio 4. Written by our contributor Damian Barr and novelist Laura Lockington, this sharp 15-minute satire is set in a beach hut in the not-too-distant future, when Brighton has become Bri-Ho, zone 15 of London. There is no greenbelt left, and an estate agent tries to sell this 'live-work-eat-study-sleep space' as 'capsule-living' to a young couple. With rising sea levels, will they make an offer of will life gazump them? It stars Jason Hughes from Midsomer Murders and Nina Wadia from Goodness Gracious Me as well as Radio 4 regular David Holt.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
