John Finnemore always wanted to write for radio and, since that first commission, his output has been prolific.
He created the popular sitcom Cabin Pressure, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Roger Allam, and the long-running Souvenir Programme sketch series, which is now in its eight series.
Along the way, he’s picked up multiple awards, seen a cast member become a Hollywood star, and taken control of the Radio 4 airwaves, as the Lord Of Misrule for Twelfth Night 2017.
John has added comedy two-handers to his CV, with two series of Double Acts, taken Souvenir Programme out on the road (retitled John Finnemore’s Flying Visit), and even finds time to create the occasional cryptic crossword.
This programme features an episode of Double Acts, titled The Queen's Speech. A Pozzitive Production for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4, which first broadcast in 2017.
Made for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 Extra.
