Final #DeadRingers for this series in the can. Yes, the audience made *that* uncomfortable laugh noise at a couple of points. Here’s what the live recording looks like in pretty colours form. Second pic is waveform of *that* uncomfortable laugh noise. Hear the results 6.30pm #Radio4

Ep 5 of the current #DeadRingers #BBCRadio4 very much on the way at 6.30. Yes, the audience made *that* noise again. Also, just to clarify in advance - no real puppies were harmed by our Prime Minister kicking them.

New #DeadRingers coming your way at 6.30, #BBCRadio4. Some of the subject material made the audience make *that* ‘oh god they went there’ noise. Yes, I have left them in the edit.

So, this week is #MensHealthWeek and the good people @ProstateUK have asked me to share a message. Men! Get checked! (I suspect you can still ask for the bum-finger if that’s the sort of thing you fancy.)

Tonight #TheSkewer up for a #Rosedor Award for Best TV Comedy (for our iPlayer TV version) .. we did not win (predictably, Taskmaster did) but what a room to be in to see our name on the big award screen… we’ll bloody take a Rose d’Or nomination!

It seems we’re making BBC Radio 4’s brand new Friday Night Comedy show. And what’s more, we’re recording it on Thursday in London and we’d like you to be in the audience because it’s going to all be very satirically silly. FREE TICKETS to come see us LIVE! www.sroaudiences.com

So BIG announcement. Can finally reveal that #TheSkewer is coming to your screens. For our 10th radio series (just started) we’ve made a special TV version exclusively for @BBCiPlayer where we’ve twisted round to look back at the last 3 years. BUT AS A FILM. #ThreeTwistedYears
