Double Science is a British sitcom on BBC Radio 4. It follows Colin Jackson ("no relation") and Kenneth Farley-Pittman, two chemistry teachers existing in a work-life balance haven at the fictional Forresters Sixth Form College. As the college specialises in drama, the science department has long languished in happy obscurity, but the recent death of the old department head and the arrival of new head Dr Alison Hatton threatens to wake the pair from their real ale fuelled malaise.
Colin and Kenneth's lives are insular revolving around the local Indian Restaurant and their weekly "film club" night. Colin wears shorts and sandals all year round, Kenneth has a habit of losing his trousers. Colin's social awkwardness and gaucheness is tested by the attraction he feels towards his new boss and competition for her attention from the right-on drama teacher Danny Woods.

Under the first cold gleam of day?”
