The Bob Servant Emails: A BBC Radio Dramatisation starring Brian Cox

By: Neil Forsyth

Narrated by: Brian Cox, Felix Dexter, Full Cast, Laura Solon, Lewis MacLeod, Sanjeev Kholi

Brian Cox stars as the 63-year-old Servant in these wickedly funny full-cast email exchanges

Born and bred in Dundee, Bob Servant sees himself as the people's champion. Once a cheeseburger magnate and part of what he claims to be 'the largest window cleaning round in Western Europe', he's now retired and feeling a little bored. After winning a computer in the bowling club raffle, and only ever receiving spam emails, he decides to take on this plague of the electronic age…
This complete series features the anarchic exchanges between Bob and the unwitting spam merchants who flood his inbox. As they offer him Russian brides, African fortunes, and get-rich-quick scams, he turns the tables by thinking up some outlandish schemes of his own. Playing the fraudsters at their own game, he soon has them in the palm of his hand.
Starring Brian Cox as Bob Servant, and featuring a stellar ensemble cast including Felix Dexter, Laura Solon, Sanjeev Kohli and Lewis MacLeod.
