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.
Tropes used in Warhorses of Letters include:
- 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
