Millport was written by and starred Lynn Ferguson (who is the sister of Craig Ferguson, whom American audiences might kow as a late night TV talk show host and prior to that, as Nigel Wick, Drew Carey's boss on the Drew Carey Show.) Amricans might know Lynn Ferguson's voice, at least, as Mac from the movie Chicken Run.
It is aired regularly on the digital radio station BBC Radio 7.
