Dead Ringers: R4 Book of the Week

Jump to Comments

Writing about Mma Ramotswe And The Full Shopping Bag of Despair from transversality

Last night we went to go and see a live radio recording of Dead Ringers at the Arts Centre

It
was fantastic – but the scene that really had me creased up was the
Book of the Week sketch in which they created a very long-winded and
circuitous version of the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith.

Very, very funny.

Charlotte Green, Radio 4’s own Pussycat Doll.

If you want to hear it it’s being aired on R4 at 6:30 this evening – and it will also be on the R4 website on playback.

(We also saw the lovely Helen and other people from work.)^*

Ooh – and Nev Fountain, one of the writers, is a Warwick grad.

^{*Which
I always think is a bit of a mixed blessing with the Arts Centre,
although we’re very lucky to have such a fantastic facility on campus,
it does mean that you bump into colleagues in a potentially awkward
social setting.}
