ANNOUNCEMENT - WE'RE DOING A THIRD SERIES OF OUR BBC RADIO 4 SHOW
And this time the episodes will be half- an-hour long and air in the 6.30 slot. We'll be recording the show sometime in 2017, so look out for details on how to be in the studio audience if that's your sort of thing.
WINNERS!
We were delighted to take home the prize for 'best comedy production' at the 2016 BBC radio awards. Here's a photo from the event of Alex with producer Sam. (Ben was in a log cabin in rural Massachusetts at the time.)
