'One of the finest comedy shows radio has come up with' -- The Times

'My name is William Hague, Conservative Party Leader. And I refuse to be referred to as the illegitimate spawn of Ann Widdecombe and Nicholas Parsons'

Dead Ringers transports you to an alternative Radio 4 where deadly continuity announcers rule the roost and Home Truths finally (inevitably?) clashes with John Peel's Radio 1 Show. Where a desperate Time Lord calls directory enquiries in search of his sworn arch-enemy and Alan Bennett and Thora Hird are the kind of thugs you most certainly wouldn't share your buttered scones with.

Alistair McGowan and fellow comics Jon Culshaw, Kate Robbins, Simon Lipson and Jan Ravens bring their considerable talent for mimicry to the airwaves, where the fields of politics, sport and entertainment are ploughed up and ridden rough-shod over in these four pincer-sharp episodes.

Dead Ringers. Dead Funny.
