BBC Radio 4 - No-Platformed
Comedy that drives a train through sitcom-land via a platform crowded with silly jokes.
www.bbc.co.uk
Well, this is a lovely surprise. Next month* there will be another chance to hear a show I wrote called No-Platformed which I assumed had been consigned to audio oblivion. As I recall, it contains quite a lot of strange jokes. 📻 www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Tomorrow this trio of odd noises starts slipping off BBC Sounds and back into audio oblivion. If you want to hear the missing Episode 4, in which it all turns out to be a dream*, give me a call and I'll dictate it down the phone.

Episode 3 of No-Platformed floats onto Radio 4 tonight at 23.15. Episode 4 has been delayed indefinitely by stupid Christmas, so 3 is your lot for now. Contains surface water, stupid jokes about spelling, and a badly behaved Formula 1 pit crew. You know. Normal stuff. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...
