Tim Key’s Poetry Programme: The Complete Series 5-7

Tim Key returns with more comic chaos, musically supported by Tom Basden Award-winning comedian Tim Key is back with three more series of his peculiar poetry programme. Having presented the show from a houseboat, a space simulator and the top of the Shard, he now ventures even further afield in his increasingly ineffective attempts to understand life through the medium of verse. In these 12 episodes, he finds himself stuck in a cable car high above the Norwegian fjords, making a movie in Rome, stranded in an Austrian cave network with the water rising, and broadcasting live from the labour ward where Megan is having a baby. He also prepares to make his TV debut, gets in trouble with Customs at Stansted Airport, heads out on safari (in Woburn) and hits the road in an Americana special... Accompanying him on his adventures are regulars Tom Basden and Katy Wix , and guest stars including Miles Jupp , Bridget Christie , Stephen Merchant , Lolly Adefope , Mike Wozniak , Sam Campbell and Morgana Robinson . ‘His sentences never end where you expect them to and the oddly appealing atmosphere he creates is so spellbinding, it's like emerging from a nice fog when he spits you out at the other end. ’ Julia Raeside, The Guardian Cast Key – Tim Key Lord – Tom Basden Megan – Katy Wix Jiffy – Mike Wozniak Sir Hayden – Miles Jupp Pamela – Carlotta Morelli Bunny – Karl Johnson Bogle – Bridget Christie With Stephen Merchant, Lolly Adefope, Sam Campbell, Simon Armstrong, Morgana Robinson Photo by Jonathan Birch © 2026 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd.
