About the Book

A trilogy of special episodes from the multi-award-winning show ‘The funniest man on the radio’ The Telegraph In 2023 John Finnemore and the Souvenir Programme team returned to Radio 4 with a new format – annual, one-off, 45-minute Specials. Some are in the style of Series 1-8, with sketches, jokes and songs, while others are more discursive and experimental, like Series 9. Collected together here, they all feature his trusty ensemble cast of Margaret Cabourn-Smith, Simon Kane, Lawry Lewin and Carrie Quinlan. 2023’s Special sees a palaeontologist try to not lose his head, a husband try to explain why he’s going to Milan, and the world’s top golfer getting a surprise. We also meet an admirer of Dr Watson, hear from a member of the silent majority, and our regular interviewer, Patsy Straightwoman, hears some home truths from the experts. And… well, since you ask him for a fantastical tale about an amazing voyage... In 2024’s edition, John regales us with the story of the small Dorset village he’s moved to, and the big, collective decision the residents just made. We’re introduced to his neighbours – including Joy from The Forge, Human Roo, the Cherrys and Melody, who can’t park in the dark – and learn all about the local landmarks, from Staveacre Farm to the tiny, ancient church of St Thomas’; the ex-pub that’s now part house, part speakeasy; and the dog-grooming salon that’s definitely a front for something (though probably not a meth lab). Warm-hearted, charming and quirky, it’ll make you want to pay a visit yourself – just watch out for the cows as you go past Farmer Teal’s place... 2025's instalment is forty-five minutes of the funniest things John thought of in the last year, performed by John and his regular cast, with composer Susannah Pearse at the piano and Sally Stares on the cello. Please note that listening to these sketches about seahorses, time travel and sirens may cause side effects, unless you're listening to the placebo version of the show.
