Warhorses of Letters

""Only on Radio 4 would one find a gay, epistolary romance in which the letter writers are horses""

- Radio Times

Warhorses of Letters was a 2011 BBC Radio 4 series based on discovered letters about two horses - Marengo and Copenhagen - who are in love. This is a bit of a problem as they are warhorses on opposing sides in the Napoleonic wars; Marengo and Copenhagen are the war horses of Napoleon and Wellington.

Starred Stephen Fry and Daniel Rigby.


 * As You Know - Used extensively and knowingly.
 * “You must remember that all horses are arbitrarily given the same birthday, January 4th. Oh wait you do not have to remember as you also a horse.”
 * Camp Gay - "Oh my horsey God!"
 * May-December Romance - Marengo is quite a lot older than Copenhagen.
 * War Is Hell
