Welcome to GSMC Classics: Parsley Sidings, your passport to the whimsical world of classic radio comedy. In this episode, "The 1890 Rocket," we invite you to join us for a nostalgic journey back to the heyday of wireless entertainment with another delightful installment of the beloved BBC Radio sitcom.

Crafted by the creative genius Jim Eldridge, Parsley Sidings features a stellar cast led by the legendary Arthur Lowe, Ian Lavender, and Kenneth Connor. Lowe shines as the amiable station master, Mr. Horace Hepplewhite, Lavender enchants as his earnest son, Bertrand, while Connor brings his comedic prowess to the role of the hapless station porter, Percy Valentine.

Set against the picturesque backdrop of a sleepy railway station in the heart of the Midlands, "The 1890 Rocket" transports listeners to a bygone era of steam trains and old-fashioned charm. As the residents of Parsley Sidings prepare for the arrival of a historic locomotive, Mr. Hepplewhite and the gang find themselves embroiled in a series of uproarious misadventures.

Join us as the denizens of Parsley Sidings navigate the chaos of the 1890 Rocket's visit, from Bertrand's attempts to impress a visiting dignitary to Percy's comical mishaps on the platform. With Liz Fraser lending her voice as the spirited station tannoy announcer, Gloria Simpkins, and a guest cast featuring the likes of Bill Pertwee and Roger Delgado, every moment is filled with laughter and nostalgia.

Whether you're a devoted fan of Parsley Sidings or discovering it for the first time, "The 1890 Rocket" promises an unforgettable journey back in time. So sit back, relax, and let the timeless humor of GSMC Classics: Parsley Sidings whisk you away to a world where the laughs are as plentiful as the steam trains.
