Three BBC Radio plays about the life and times of a paddle steamer and its crew depicted across three decades in the early 20th Century.

The Beano – It’s 1911 and a works outing aboard the Devonia reunites childhood sweethearts Harry and Mercy.

Day Trip – It’s 1925 and Steward Harry’s life aboard Devonia is made a misery by a group of upper class students out to celebrate the end of their finals.

Night Boat – It’s 1936. Devonia has a curious group of passengers aboard who may well be spies. Meanwhile, will Harry and Mercy finally tie the knot?
