The show focuses on a different made up celebrity each week and features different guest stars in each episode. This has made it brilliant fun to produce, since we’ve been able to involve:
Liz Fraser, Richard Briers, Elizabeth Spriggs, the peerless Julia Deakin, Marcus Brigstocke, Paul Putner, Laura Solon, Richard Glover, Rita May, Rula Lenska, Phyllida Law, James Holmes, Liza Sadovy, Janice Connolly, Robin Ince, Jeffrey Holland, Nitin Ganatra, Bill Maynard, Geoffrey Whitehead, Dan Antopolski, Chris Douglas and Benedict Wong!
It’s all very exciting. Run some of those names through IMDB and you’ll see why I might want to spend half a day in their respective companies.
The series starts on Wednesday 8th August at 11pm on Radio 4 and runs for six weeks. If you miss it it’ll be available on the BBC’s Radio Player for 7 days after each broadcast.
If you’re interested in listening to a brilliant radio show that I didn’t make then my all time favourite is This American Life. You can find and listen to it any time you like by clicking here: thislife.org .
