"Hut 33" is a BBC Radio 4 sitcom set at Bletchley Park in 1941. It includes both the writer (James Cary) and producer (Adam Bromley) from "Think the Unthinkable" and "Concrete Cow".

Production

The first six-part series was recorded at the BBC Radio Theatre at Broadcasting House on 24 June, 1 July and 8 July 2007. It was broadcast at 11.30am on Mondays from 25 June to 30 July 2007. The second series began on 21 May 2008.

Parody

It is to some extent a parody of "Enigma", also set at Bletchley, which also featured a Marxist codebreaker and (from series 1, episode 3) the beautiful stranger who turns out to be a spy.Or|date=June 2008

Cast

*Tom Goodman-Hill as Archie, a Geordie Marxist
*Robert Bathurst as Charles, the ultra-conversative snob who rejected Archie from Oxford for not knowing how to use a fish knife at the dinner table
*Fergus Craig as Gordon, 17-year-old child maths prodigy, still in short trousers, in love with Minka
*Alex MacQueen as 3rd Lieut Joshua Fanshawe-Marshall, theoretically in charge of the hut, made 3rd Lt when he could not be demoted any further from 2nd Lt after losing a tank regiment in the Battle of France by driving them into the sea
*Olivia Colman as Minka, the Hut's Polish secretary, worryingly keen on extreme violence as the solution to all problems
*Lill Roughley as Mrs Best, their sex-obsessed landlady who claims to have bedded both Bomber Harris and Hermann Goering
*Winstanley, the silent occupant of Hut 33 always working at his desk. At any given time he may be naked, or wearing pyjamas, or otherwise eccentrically dressed. In series 1 episode 3 he decides to wear a suit of armour, so his responses are assorted clanks and creaks - or is he just an empty suit?
