Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Castle is a radio series first broadcast in 2007. Described as "a comedy set in the filth, grime, stench and brutality of the Middle Ages, with some nice music", it is a comedy set in an uncertain period in the Middle Ages, at the castle of Sir John Woodstock, a meek and mild mannered widower who lives with his daughter Anne (who refuses all attempts to marry her off despite approaching the dreadful age of eighteen, his son Henry (who begins to speak like a Gangsta Rapper as the series goes on) and Anne's friend Charlotte, who is staying over whilst her parents are in Europe (and blatantly having affairs).Other major characters include: Castle Woodstock staff Thomas the inventor and Sam Tree the dimwitted but handsome peasant (eventually replaced by Merlin, a wizard handyman) ... and neighbors Sir William de Warrenne (Knight Errant, Scourge of the Levant, increasingly desperate suitor to Anne) and Cardinal Duncan, a closeted homosexual and advisor to Sir William.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Anachronism Stew: Deliberately invoked, with characters, headlines and events being obvious references to the present day, for example the aggressive chef Sir Gordon De Ramsay and the Italian knight Antonio Soprano. Sometimes they don't bother to hide it at all and reference the figure or event directly. In additional, all of the music is modern pop music performed on lutes, recorders and other contemporary instruments. | |

Bait-and-Switch: Thomas' inventions all resemble modern devices, . Sir John will then ask for what they would call the device, prompting a stupid name in place of Sir John's reasonable one. | |

Blue-Collar Warlock: Merlin is a wizard, but spends most of his time doing handyman jobs like putting up shelves. | |

Catchphrase | |
| The Castle (Radio) / int_e6b5d22f | comment |
Catchphrase Everytime Lady Charlotte sees Sir William she remarks "Cool codpiece!" prompting his response on the design, usually with a reference to a modern designer. Charlotte also has "copy that!", usually said in response to an order from Anne to shut up, leave or at least stop being annoying. Constant complainer Jedediah Wainwright interrupts every proposal at the town meeting with "That's outrageous!" which is followed by "Shut up Wainwright!" from the crowd. | |
