Me on your radio and very slightly TV over Christmas
Me on your radio and very slightly TV over Christmas
We interrupt this stream of Bear Facts to let you know that, by coincidence, I am doing something you can listen to, or even watch, over each of the next four days.
22nd December. Two today. In the morning, mSouvenir Programme colleague Carrie Quinlan and I will be doing a short and Christmassy sketch during the Today programme. This, and all the things listed here, will be available on iPlayer once theyve been aired. Im not going to do links, because youre all terribly clever people, and can find them for yourself.
In the evening, I make my second appearance in this series of one of my favourite shows, Im Sorry I Havent A Clue. (I stepped in at short notice for an indisposed Barry Cryer, by the way, which is why Im not credited - but dont worry, hes absolutely fine.)
23rd December. Theres this sitcom I write called Cabin Pressure, about pilots. Anyway, the first part of the two part show finale will go out at 6.30 on Radio 4. Incidentally, there are spoilers absolutely everywhere. The audience who saw the recording in February have diligently and heroically kept quiet for ten months. The papers previewing the show… not so much. If you havent been spoilt yet, and dont want to be, I advise you not to read or listen to anything you see promoting the show. Except this. This is fine.
Christmas Eve. The second part airs. For what its worth, I dont think Ive seen any spoilers relating to events in this half. For instance, the scene the BBC has put out is from part one, and if youve seen the cast list, all of those characters have made their appearance by the end of part one. So, even if youve seen spoilers, you still have some surprises in store.
Christmas Day. mSouvenir Programme Colleague Margaret Cabourn-Smith and I make a (brief) final appearance as Mirandas annoying friends Chris and Alison in Miranda on BBC1.
Boxing Day. Blessed relief for the nation - the plague of relentless festive Finnemore appearances is over.
