15 Minute Musical - series 5
The fifth series of my radio show 15 Minute Musical starts going out on Radio 4 on Wednesdays at 11pm from the 5th November. For six - count them - weeks. Obviously I don't expect anyone to stay up that late but should you feel the need to hear music and jokes - OFTEN AT THE SAME TIME - then please seek out the show via the BBC iplayer.
The Observer said the series 'kicks off in fine style' - which leaves only one way to go, clearly, and The Sunday Times said it was 'rather clever'. I'd have preferred 'funny' but there you go. Other previews can be found here and here.
This series features various combinations of me, Dave Lamb, Vicki Pepperdine, Mel Hudson and Jess Robinson and includes the following episodes:
5/11 - 'Washington High School Musical' - Barack Obama competes to become President of Washington High
12/11 - 'Sweary Todd' - Gordon Ramsay stars as The Demon Carver of Meat Street.
19/11 - 'We're All Going On An Olympic Odyssey' - with Boris Johnson at the wheel of a Routemaster bus.
26/11 - 'Cleggerella' - Nick Clegg's (who?) dreams come true in a makeover fairytale.
3/12 - 'Pappa Pia' - Piers Morgan searches for his real father. Turns out he's a bastard.
10/12 - 'A Christmas Gordon' - the ghosts of Prime Ministers past, present and future come knocking at Ebenezer Brown's door.
There. I've finished. If you're still reading, thank you.

If two year old musical satire is your thing - and for God's sake why wouldn't it be? - then you'll be delighted to know the BBC have tardily released series three of my radio series
