Summary:
The entire Series 17 of the award-winning BBC Radio 4 impressions show – plus two Christmas special episodes
Dead Ringers earnings with more sharp, topical ointment comedy in these 8 displays, featuring all 6 episodes from Series 17 as well as both 2017 Christmas specials. Impressions and caricatures will be the wonderful courtiers of explosively satirical truth-bombs as Jon Culshaw, Jan Ravens, Lewis MacLeod, Debra Stephenson and Duncan Wisbey take on the worlds of politics and entertainment.
There’s about Deceased Ringers: Series 17 plus Christmas Specials: The BBC Radio 4 impressions show some post-election skewering for Theresa May, Jeremy Corbyn and Tim Farron; ‘Arlene from Belfast’ phone calls Moneybox Live for guidance about her sudden windfall; and gossipy ‘Govey’ leaves back-stabbing answerphone messages for Nicola Sturgeon and Leanne Timber. Plus, White Home Press Secretary Sean Spicer receives a late-night phone call; Hilary Mantel joins Gardeners’ Question Time; and David Sedaris and Alan Bennett have a biscuit-off…
The two Christmas editions feature HM The Queen, Dame Joan Bakewell and ‘Brexit Bulldog’ David Davis, as well as taking a look at how Britain’s media would cope if Donald Trump pushed the button.
