Losers: The Complete Series 1 and 2: A BBC Radio 4 Full-Cast Comedy

"Laugh-out-loud comedy about two unfulfilled 40-somethings trying to get the best out of life This is the complete series of Niall Ashdown and Luke Sorba's (strictly non-autobiographical) hilarious sitcom about two men in their forties who really don't know what to do with themselves. The duo attempt (and mostly fail) to make their mark on the world and prove that they really aren’t as pointless as they feel. Embarking on a series of haphazard adventures covering everything from the human condition to sex, food and some surprising things in-between, they are keen to prove to old school friends they have actually achieved in life. When Niall and Luke hatch a plan to become successful novelists they decide what’s needed is a bunch of trendy half-baked ideas and a killer pitch and definitely not effort and tenacity. And what about sporting prowess? Surely they are in their prime with the stamina, dedication and physical fitness to make an impact? Things don’t quite go to plan when they find themselves trapped in a cable car on a ski trip with two about-to-be-newlyweds and decide to dole out relationship advice. The directionless twosome never quite seem to get things going in their own lives, particularly when they are forced to consider their own mortality at a funeral. And the less said about the fancy dress party, the better… Luke Sorba has written sitcoms for radio and TV, as well as sketches and stand-up comedy, and is the author of two novels. Niall Ashdown is a comedian, actor, improvisor and writer. He has starred in Whose Line Is It Anyway? and regularly appears in TV and radio comedies as well as on the stage. Contains adult humour.

Kalangadog Junction: A BBC Radio 4 Comedy Drama

"Hilarious comedy about a 1950s couple from Manchester trying to make it Down Under Dr Thomas Barrett and his wife Jane have a perfectly nice existence in 1950s Manchester, but dreams of a new life won’t let them rest. Leaving the security of their home and successful doctor’s practice, they set out for adventure, heading to Kalangadog Junction, a small Australian town of population fifty-nine that is so remote it’s not even on the map… Setting up Down Under isn’t quite as simple as the duo thought it would be. A hilarious cast of colourful characters make for some interesting new neighbours, including Gaelene, an Olympic wannabe with dreams of a gold medal. When Thomas’s new practice doesn’t take off, he tries to drum up business by judging the local beautiful baby competition, but can he do it without causing offence? Whatever they try, things don’t quite go to plan, especially with the unexpected arrival of the mother-in-law and an ex-fiancé. Will the happy couple be able to keep their marriage on track when their shared dream isn’t turning out quite how they thought it would? There’s a twist in this comedic tale of adventure, marriage and kangaroos that will have you crying ‘Crikey!’ louder than discovering a dingo playing the didgeridoo. From the mind of prize-winning writer Moya O’Shea, Caroline Quentin leads the cast in this fantastic comedy drama. Rising to fame with appearances in Men Behaving Badly and Jonathan Creek, Caroline Quentin is a regular star of TV, film and radio. Kalangadog Junction also features the voices of John Duttine, Niall Ashdown, Toby Longworth, Brian Bowles, Joanna Monro, Julie Gibbs and the wonderful June Whitfield.
