In the second of two programmes recorded on March 1st, above-the-title talent John Dredge and his co-writer / producer Richard Cray wobble on about the making of Series 5 of the Nothing to Do with Anything Show, pretty much giving away all the secrets.
Why not take them all down in a notebook, arrange some time at your friend Ben’s studio, copy the show verbatim and get a series on Radio 4 well before they do? They won’t hold it against you. Much.
Today’s big questions (thankfully without any hint of Nicky Campbell):
What was Richard wearing the first time John met him?
Which cartoon character was the inspiration for John’s David Lynch impression?
Why were all the irresponsibly unsafe TV shows of the 1970s made by ATV?
Does anyone out there still get John’s Hooked on Classics joke?
Where have all the sketch shows gone?
And did John stick around for a cup of tea once the recording had wrapped?
Not heard the show yet? Get thee over to British Comedy Guide at https://www.comedy.co.uk/podcasts/john_dredge_show and stream or download all five series before it becomes an arrestable offence.
