There’s talk of snacks, lies and videotapes; time, affinity and vertigo; good gullibility and unreliable phones.
Ben Moor has been producing oddball storytelling shows for over 30 years. He is the creator of Elastic Planet and Undone for BBC Radio, and has appeared in Knowing Me, Knowing You, The IT Crowd, The Count of Monte Cristo and The Queen’s Gambit.

i notice thanets obsession with homosexuality is well catered for as usual
Yes as usual, they didn’t mention there friend who was running the gay pub sundowners that’s just been sentenced to 28 years for raping and abusing children does it or his boyfriend who is a convicted sex offender
Well done Real Twat.. great post..Go back to your cider and dodgy porn.
Hit a raw nerve has it ?
Nice to see Ted Rogers can still get work now, must be 125. Where is Dusty Bin though, could do all the moves, must be hard for old Ted to get his groove on with the arthritis?
Nice to see PCM try to further whitewash its colonial abuses it was so proud of when I went with the school to that ghastly, mothball stenched place decades back. Now so far entrenched in doing so that they have a special flag pseudoscientist to warp kids minds-telling them they are just like the animal kingdom. Pubehearty Blockers all round!
I genuinely don’t see the point of it. Are they saying that because other animals do these things makes it more normal? I had a dog that sniffed other dog’s a–es, p-ss-d up lamposts and tried to sh-g the rabbit!
Sounds like some council estate people as well.
