Borgen - Outside the Castle is an acclaimed political drama that centers around the Danish Parliament, originally broadcast alongside the TV series in Denmark. This radio drama follows Hans Gammelgaard, played by Tim Pigott-Smith, who is the Private Secretary in the Ministry of the Environment. He seeks approval for the controlled use of genetically modified crops by Danish farmers, facing unexpected opposition from unseen enemies.

Produced in 10 parts by DR, Denmark's national broadcaster, this radio spin-off is set against the backdrop of the first series of the television drama, which chronicles the rise of Birgitte Nyborg as the country's new prime minister. While the TV series focuses on politicians, the radio drama delves into the world of civil service, sharing the same soundtrack composed by Halfdan E.
