Diane Morgan

One of our Wise Women - Diane Morgan spins three hours of her favourite tracks ahead of taking over 6 Music for the evening.

Across Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, our three Wise Women each get to take over the reins of 6 Music to bring you music and archive.

Christmas day sees Diane Morgan spinning three hours of her favourite tracks ahead of taking over 6 Music for the evening with archive shows, documentaries and live music.

Originally from Bolton, the comedy actor and writer is best known for her incarnation of talking head 'Philomena Cunk' which originated on Charlie Booker’s Weekly Wipe tv series.

Due to the popularity of the character, the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ commissioned two one-off specials fronted by Philomena; the first was BAFTA-nominated Cunk on Shakespeare and the second a festive special, Cunk on Christmas.

A five part ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Two series, Cunk on Britain, followed earlier this year. Diane has also starred in the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Two comedy series Motherland opposite Anna Maxwell-Martin and Lucy Punch. The critically acclaimed show was co-written by previous Wise Woman Sharon Horgan.
