A week of radio that never happened. Alice Arnold and Jon Holmes rewind and mangle real programmes. From November 2011.

More mash-ups of current and archive programmes from a week's worth of broadcasting - "beautifully crafted, scalpel sharp" (Gillian Reynolds)

Alice Arnold and Jon Holmes return with the comedy that takes the back off your radio and TV, fiddles round with the shows and puts them all back, the wrong way round.

Starring:

Jon Holmes.
Alice Arnold

With:

James Bachman
Sarah Hadland
Kim Wall

Like "the mischievous offspring of Points of View and The Day Today" (Observer) fictional letters and emails complain about half-fictional programmes.

Fictional guests and real life presenters (including in this series: Melvyn Bragg, Jeremy Vine and Vanessa Feltz) argue with each other in "a gem of a satirical swoop at radio and television." (Guardian).

Written by Jon Holmes, Gareth Gwynn, John Hunter, James Kettle, Joel Morris and Jason Hazeley, John Luke Roberts and Rachel Wheeley.

Producers: Sam Bryant and Jon Holmes

First broadcast on 麻豆社 Radio 4 in November 2011.
