John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme: Series 5

The BBC Radio 4 Comedy Sketch Show

By: John Finnemore

Narrated by: John Finnemore

John Finnemore's Double Acts Series 1 is the winner of the Writers Guild Award for Best Radio Comedy and the Comedy.co.uk awards for Best Radio Sketch Show!

The complete fifth series of BBC Radio 4's award-winning sketch show, written by and starring the writer of Cabin Pressure.

John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme has won a host of awards, including the 2015 BBC Audio Drama Award for 'Best Scripted Comedy with Live Audience'. Written by and starring John Finnemore, this fifth series of the hit show returns with more witty wordplay and laugh-out-loud sketches.

These six episodes include an unlikely wager, a troubled bluesman, a rip-roaring adventure on the high seas, a new approach to the News; and, well, since you asked him for a tale of espionage....

In addition, the voices in John's head push him to the tipping point, we look back at a career in accounting, hear of an over-rated experience and, we're sorry to say, Patsy Straightwoman returns with an interview sketch.

John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme also features Margaret Cabourn-Smith, Simon Kane, Lawry Lewin and Carrie Quinlan. Duration: 3 hours.

Critic reviews

"One of the most consistently funny sketch shows for quite some time." ( The Guardian)

Brilliant!

Our whole family loved listening to this show. I am going to purchase more seasons.

I love all his sketch shows

They're great! I've fully listened to this one at least three times now, minimum. Love Finnemore!

Insanely enjoyable

The series 5 exeeded my high expectations and the clever wordplays were a treat. I would absolutely recommend this.

Enjoyable

I love these skits. So much fun to listen to! I look forward to listening to more.

Very funny

Very funny. John Finnemore's writing, and the cast's performance is A+. I'll wait a while and listen to the series again when the negative news reports get to me. One good thing about being human . . . we can smile and laugh.
