A Producer's Lot is an episode of The Wind in the Willows. It first aired on March 12, 1987 and repeated on December 10, 1987.
It is 25 years since Badger started running annual dramatic productions in the locality and Mole and Rat insist that they perform The Pirates of Penzance (An old Comic Opera) to mark the occasion. Rat offers to handle the music, and Mole the scenery. Toad, whose father played Major-General Stanley in the first production, demands a big part in this one, but the others are not entirely convinced by his musical abilities.
