Reg the captain in charge of The Lady Sarah emailed me to say he has been on the Radio a bit recently talking about his shed and other pirate things.
Here are some shots from the interview which was on the Radio Essex yesterday (listen again)
Not only did a Bletchley Park Hut win the hut category in this years Shed of the year, and was of course a major player in ending the second World War its also the base for a BBC radio comedy.
Hut 33, the sitcom set in Bletchley Park in World War Two, returns for a third series.
It’s 1942 and things are looking grim for the Allies and even worse for Hut 33, who remain the worst performing hut at the secret code-breaking facility at Bletchley.
Perhaps if Charles and Archie stopped feuding and Gordon could concentrate on his number sequences instead of acting as peace-maker they would make better progress.
Joshua, their commanding officer, struggles with even the most basic concepts like his name, let alone fiendishly complex German ciphers.
Mrs Best, their landlady, is always ready to offer a shoulder to cry on and plenty more besides, whereas Minka, the Polish hut secretary, is an efficient sociopath who believes lethal violence is the solution to any problem.
The show features an all star cast and an award-winning writing and producing team whose credits include Think the Unthinkable, Recorded for Training Purposes and Concrete Cow.
Recording at the BBC Radio Theatre, Broadcasting House, Portland Place, London on Friday 25 September. Doors open at 12.45pm. Also recording on Sunday 27 September. Doors open at 7.15pm.

According to the Daily Mail
Nicki Chapman is presenting the coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show for the BBC and was on some other show sbefore.
When the gates to the Chelsea Flower Show are thrown open today, thousands of keen gardeners will head into the showground hoping to glean some ideas for their own plots back home.
Among those seeking inspiration will be Nicki Chapman. However, the down-to-earth television presenter is not after a classical sculpture, fancy greenhouse or the latest must-have plants. She’s looking for something far more mundane – a garden shed.
‘I’m in great need of some outdoor storage space and would quite like a shed. I’ll be looking around the show for something attractive and clever that can be pushed into a corner of my garden,’ says Nicki, 42.
Of course we know that the garden shed is not mundane at all.
Our Shed Judge Chris not only hosted the event he won two awards, lucky he has not added his Shed to Shed of the year as the same may happen!!

I will hopefully be talking about Sheds and the Shed of the year Competition, unless they want me to talk about swineflu, which I doubt it, on the Shân Cothi show this Sunday 3rd of May in the 10-12 time frame – probably before 11..
Join Shân Cothi Sunday mornings from 10am-12 Noon for music and chat.
Soprano Shân Cothi has performed throughout the world in a variety of venues, from the Wales Millennium Centre to Her Majesty’s Theatre in the West End, where she took the role of Carlotta in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom Of The Opera.
Shân is no stranger to broadcasting, having had her own show on S4C as well as three series of ‘Cothi’s Classics’ for BBC Radio Wales.
I will be on the phone as it’s of course the closing day for entries into Shed of the year 2009 and I will be busy helping you sheddies get those images online as I expect a big shedcrash!
