Wooden Overcoats is a British sitcom podcast created and written by David K. Barnes, and directed and produced by Andy Goddard and John Wakefield.
Chapman immediately becomes popular with the citizens of Piffling Vale, and with his modern, joyful company instantly becoming more popular than the sober, traditional style of Funn Funerals, the work-obsessed siblings find their business threatened, setting off a bitter rivalry with Chapman in which Funn Funerals will do anything they must to ensure the business survives.
[4] Tensions progressively heighten as the feud spirals out of control, with Funn Funeral's increasingly over-the-top attempts to sabotage Chapman soon affecting the entire village.
[5] The idea of a story involving two competing undertakers arose from discussions between eventual cast members Felix Trench and Tom Crowley.
[12] Wooden Overcoats received an extremely positive critical reception, with the New Statesman describing the series as "funnier than anything broadcast on the BBC".
