Sneakiepeeks: A Full-Cast BBC Radio Comedy
"Meet the bungling surveillance team you won’t want on your tail. The time, now - the place, outside your window. Three surveillance operatives are on an unspecified job, working for an unspecified employer. Together, they are Beagle Team. Good surveillance operatives have patience, alertness and discretion - this is a series about the other type of surveillance operative. Bill (Richard Lumsden), career snoop and technical specialist, has long carried a torch for beautiful yet disconnected fieldworker Sharla (Nina Conti), who doesn't know he exists, despite sharing the back of a van with him for most of their working life. Mark (Daniel Kaluuya), an enthusiastic yet slightly criminal trainee, has been assigned to them by their unknown employer, who goes by the codename ‘Huntsman’. However, whilst the team should be focusing on honing their surveillance skills, they spend more time backstabbing and scapegoating each other. Usually the team member out in the field with the microphones… Faced with fresh targets, situations and locations, can the team botch their way to bringing down a team of blackmailers, stake out a Russian billionaire or learn anything from a CIA operative? What will happen when old rivals Terrier Team come onto their patch and what about that job so secret even the boss doesn’t know about it? Sneakiepeeks is a laugh-out-loud comedy featuring an all-star cast including comedian Nina Conti, Clare in the Community's Richard Lumsden and Daniel Kaluuya, star of Skins, Get Out and Black Panther. It’s written by Harry Venning, the creator of Clare in the Community, and Neil Brand, the creator of Big Broadcast. ©2024 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd (P)2024 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd Cast and credits Written by Harry Venning and Neil Brand Produced by Katie Tyrell Bill - Richard Lumsden Sharla - Nina Conti Mark - Daniel Kaluuya Tony Savage/Captain Le Clerc - Kevin Eldon Geoff/Boris/Bristow - John Biggins Ted/Bolkonski - Shaban Arifi Nanny/Milij/Russian Girl - Alex Tregear Mr Smith/Russian Crew/Ignatius/Fuego - Nigel Hastings Mrs Smith/Russian Girl/Mrs A/Delphine - Kate Layden Bishop/Russian Crew/Mr A - Ewan Hooper Justine/Mrs Davies/Secretary -Tessa Nicholson David/Colonel/Customer 2/Channing - Ewan Bailey Man - Rhys Jennings Edward Barraclough MP/Ian - Paterson Joseph Norris/Tim the Tea Boy - Joe Thomas Ros/Mrs Davies - Lucy Montgomery Customer 1- Harry Venning Customer 3 - Neil Brand First Broadcast BBC Radio 4, 8 December 2009"

Clare in the Community: The Complete Series 1-6: A BBC Radio 4 Comedy
"The first six series of the Sony Award-winning sitcom about a social worker with all the right jargon, but none of the practical solutions 'Completely engaging... beautifully observed characters and lots of very funny material' The Sony Judges Meet Clare Barker, the social worker who likes nothing more than sorting out other people's problems (while failing to deal with her own). Wracked with guilt over being white, middle-class and heterosexual, she has a dedicated social conscience (unless it's inconvenient for her) and lives to interfere in other people's lives - both on a personal and professional basis. Bearing the brunt of her control freakery and lack of self-awareness are her family, colleagues and long-suffering teacher partner, Brian - all of whom have their own frustrations, disappointments and dramas. In these six series, Clare and Brian try to shore up their rocky relationship, as Brian contemplates proposing, persuades Clare to attend couples counselling, and considers splitting up. Will their baby son, Thomas Paine, bring them back together - or will new nanny Nali prove a further obstacle to domestic bliss? Meanwhile, the Sparrowhawk Family Centre is threatened with closure, and the team are joined by new member Libby - 'an Aussie and a lesbo', proud to be both, and after Clare's job... Based on the long-running cartoon strip in the Guardian's 'Society' section, this wonderfully entertaining series stars Sally Phillips as Clare and Alex Lowe as Brian, alongside an ensemble cast including Nina Conti, Richard Lumsden, Ellen Thomas, Gemma Craven, Liza Tarbuck, Andrew Wincott and Sarah Kendall.

Clare in the Community: The Complete Series 7-12: A BBC Radio 4 Comedy
"Series 7-12 of the Sony Award-winning sitcom featuring the splendidly self-obsessed social worker - plus Christmas and Edinburgh Festival Specials 'An impressive cast and some genuinely funny writing make this a must' The Stage Well-meaning do-gooder Clare Barker is back, and dealing with more office politics, troublesome clients and domestic dramas. Secretly regarding herself as a cross between Mother Theresa and Wonder Woman, she's got all the right jargon for every problem, but never any practical solutions. However, in today's 'Big Society' there are plenty of challenges out there for an involved, caring social worker (or even Clare)... These six series find her struggling once again to control both her professional and private life. At the Sparrowhawk Centre, Clare finds herself in hot water on more than one occasion; and the team find themselves moving offices, facing up to possible redundancies, bidding a fond farewell to old colleagues and welcoming new ones. And at home, Clare's relationship with Brian is as thorny as ever. As we follow the duo through break-ups, wedding bells, separations and reconciliations, can they finally find happiness - or does fate have other ideas? Sally Phillips stars as Clare, with a stellar cast including Alex Lowe, Sarah Thom, Nina Conti and Gbemisola Ikumelo. Also included are a special instalment recorded live at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, 'In Treatment', and a one-off Christmas outing, 'Christmas With... Clare Barker', featuring guest star Hugh Bonneville.
