Dead Ringers Series 3 – (2 CDs, approx. running time 2
hours 20 minutes)
All five
episodes from the third series of the wickedly funny BBC Radio 4 comedy.
Just
when you thought it was safe to listen again, Dead Ringers is back with its skewed and scary take on the world of
celebrity, politics and the mass media.
All
human – and quite a bit of inhuman -
life is here.
In this
thrusting third series, Anne Robinson puts her own family through its paces to
find The Weakest Child, Graham Norton
presents So ... panorama!, and Simon
Bates recounts A History of Britain in
the style of Our Tune. Craig from Big Brother applies to join the Royal
Ballet, whilst Alan Bennett shares more nostalgic memories of his surprising
exploits with Thora Hird. Rolf Harris enquires about his chances of winning the
Turner Prize, and we dip into the full-blooded fiction which flows unbridled
from Ann Widdecombe’s fountain pen.
Jon Culshaw, Jan Ravens, Phil Cornwell, Kevin Connelly, Lewis Macleod and Mark Perry give us their impressions of the people we love to laugh at in these five frenetic episodes.
