| book description |
Both series of the hugely popular topical satire show from 2024 Fresh from winning ‘Best Radio Sketch Show’ at the 2023 Comedy.co.uk Awards, Dead Ringers is back with two more series, aiming a satirical slingshot at world affairs, the culture wars – and Mr Blobby. With the supply chain of human folly functioning better than ever, there’s no shortage of targets for their merciless mockery, and among the politicians and celebrities being pilloried are Sir Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Jeremy Hunt, Rylan and Ronnie O’Sullivan. Liz Truss speaks her truth in her new book (‘I KNOW!!!’), Nigel Farage launches a pubcast, Alan Bennett advises on the Drake v. Kendrick Lamar beef and David Attenborough is traumatised by Baby Reindeer. Plus, Taylor Swift finds an unlikely boyfriend on Poetry Please, Jacob Rees-Mogg tells us about the birds and the bees, Rishi Sunak has an urgent message for Elon Musk, and the new Dr Who has a novel way of dealing with alien invaders… There’s also a special episode from the Hay Festival, featuring the ‘Top 20 Government Apologies’ playlist, Harry Kane’s predictions for the Euros – and a surprising new arrival in Bridgerton. And in the aftermath of the UK and US elections, the team take a probing look at the new inhabitants of Number Ten and the White House. Will they prove to be as risible as the previous incumbents? NB: Series 24 was recorded before the tragic news of the death of Michael Mosley Cast and credits Starring Jon Culshaw, Jan Ravens, Lewis MacLeod, Duncan Wisbey and Jess Robinson Written by Nev Fountain & Tom Jamieson, Laurence Howarth, Ed Amsden & Tom Coles, Alex Bertulis-Fernandes, Sarah Campbell, Angela Channell, Cody Dahler, Rob Darke, Sarah Dempster, Sophie Dixon, Christopher Donovan, Toussaint Douglass, Lizzy Mansfield, Christina Riggs, Katie Sayer, Peter Tellouche, Edward Tew, Rachel Thorne and Joe Topping With additional material by Jennifer Walker Produced and created by Bill Dare Executive Producers: James Robinson, Pete Strauss and Richard Morris Production Co-ordinator: Dan Marchini Sound Design: Rich Evans First broadcast on BBC Radio 4, 26 Apr-31 May 2024 (Series 24), 1-22 Nov 2024 (Series 25) © 2025 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd.
