Ankle Tag: Series 1-3: A BBC Radio Comedy

"All three series of the BBC radio sitcom about a fraudster dad on parole - plus pilot episode The Beginning 'Well crafted, well acted, with the requisite level of nuttiness' - Miranda Sawyer, The Observer Ex-con Bob has done his time. After five years at Her Majesty's pleasure, he's been released on licence with an ankle tag registered to his estranged son's address. Uptight Gruff isn't too happy about it - he's just become a father himself, and the last thing he needs is his delinquent dad back in his life. But Bob turns on the charm, persuading sympathetic daughter-in-law Alice that his heart's in the right place, and manages to inveigle his way into moving in. These three series find him getting back on the dating scene, landing a job as a bingo caller, catching up with an old acquaintance from C Wing and reconnecting with a long-lost family member. Meanwhile, Gruff is delighted when he's commissioned to write an article about smoothies, Alice bonds with Bob over ape-based reality show Monkey World, Gruff and Alice decide to get daughter Carys baptised and Alice's mum has a new boyfriend - but Bob is suspicious. Can he use his expert knowledge of the Falklands War to prove that Jeffrey's a conman? Scripted by acclaimed comedy writers Gareth Gwynn and Benjamin Partridge, this quirky, warm-hearted sitcom stars Steve Speirs as Bob, with Elis James as Gruff and Katy Wix and Margaret Cabourn-Smith as Alice. Among the guest stars are Morwenna Banks, Neil Pearson, Felicity Montagu and Ben Willbond.

The team uncover a conspiracy behind cryptic crosswords, encounter a saxophonist who is tortured by his inability to play the solo from Baker Street and discover what happens if you buy Chris de Burgh's old house. Written by Benjamin Partridge, Henry Paker and Mike Wozniak, with additional material from the cast, this ridiculous, surreal and witty series also stars Sara Pascoe. Produced by Simon Mayhew-Archer A BBC Studios Production"

It’s Your Round: The Complete Series 1 and 2: The BBC Radio 4 comedy panel show

"The format is simple: there isn't one. Instead, each of the panellists brings their own round for the others to play, meaning that each show is unique, untried, and unpredictable. In each episode, four top comedians will battle it out to see who gets to be champion. Angus Deayton is the host, valiantly trying to make sure everyone comes out of it with their reputations intact. The panellists trying to beat each other at their own games include Miles Jupp, Sara Pascoe, Andy Parsons, Rebecca Front, Russell Kane, Josie Long, Tim Key, Micky Flanagan, Bridget Christie, Alan Davies, Roisin Conaty, Sandi Toksvig, Clive Anderson, Will Self, Gyles Brandreth and Alex Horne. Hear them battle it out in made up rounds such as 'What Does My Dad Know?', 'It’s Not Your Round', 'Twitter-witter-witter-who', 'Nine Previous Convictions', 'Cockney Rhyming Slang Charades' and 'Fantasy Funeral'. ‘Deayton…is a born host, an arch, deadpan foil to contestants' excesses.’ – The Independent Devised by Benjamin Partridge Written by Angus Deayton and Paul Powell Produced by Sam Michell"
