John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme: Series 6

Six more episodes of BBC Radio 4’s multi-award-winning sketch show, written by and starring John Finnemore. ‘The best sketch show in years, on television or radio’ Radio Times . John Finnemore, writer and star of Cabin Pressure and John Finnemore’s Double Acts , returns for a sixth series of his hugely acclaimed Souvenir Programme , which won him Radio Broadcaster of the Year at the 2016 Broadcasting Press Guild Awards. Expect sketches! Expect songs! They’re what made up the previous five series, so it seems a pretty safe bet that that’s what will be in this series as well. And, well, since you ask him for some tall tales… Kicking off with a seasonal special, this series takes in TV adverts, woodland talent contests, a song about the best day of the Christmas season and what is almost certainly the greatest story a Finnemore has ever told. Described by The Daily Telegraph as ‘funny enough to make even the surliest cat laugh’, John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme also features Margaret Cabourn-Smith, Simon Kane, Lawry Lewin, Carrie Quinlan and, at the piano, Susannah Pearse. Duration: 2 hours 50 mins approx.
