Between 1947 and 1957, Ealing Studios produced a series of immensely popular, darkly funny film comedies that made the West London borough famous throughout the world. Almost 50 years later, four of these timeless films were recreated for BBC Radio 4, and are now collected together for the first time.

A decade of freezing darkness, and the sun is rising on what's left of humanity. Giant cities stride, roll, and crawl across the frozen wasteland, desperate to stay one step ahead of the devastating storms that share the planet with them. And yet, no one seems to remember that it's not just the weather that can kill. Wendy Milton rides the galleons - ships that carve their way through the ice on giant razors - securing the route for her home city. It's noble work, but there's profit to be made, too, especially if one happens to discover a wrecked machine from the pre-ice days.
