SYNOPSIS:
A group of ladies decide to appear nude for a Women's Institute calendar in order to raise funds to buy a settee for their local hospital, in memory of one of their husbands. They have to date raised over £4 million for Bloodwise. As in the film and the play version, both also scripted by Tim Firth, this musical comedy shows life in their Yorkshire village, how it happened, the effect on husbands, sons and daughters, and how a group of ordinary ladies achieved something extraordinary.
