Ep1 Patrick Marber and Peter Curran grapple in the dark with life's woes and wonders

Episode 1 of 8

Recorded in the dark and in actual beds, this is the perfect place for letting thoughts drift into the air without rhyme or reason.

This time, after a top bunk malfunction, they are forced to snuggle up together in the same bed. Socks with 12 hours of wear on them, uncut toenails and grinding all bring conflict. Eventually, we hear the strange voice of science fiction pioneer HG Wells from a 1934 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ broadcast that spookily sums up society today. This leads naturally to a discussion of national pride, Seamus Heaney, and the male orgasm.

Occasional sleepover guests for this series will include star of The Simpsons and This Is Spinal Tap, Harry Shearer, actor Jane Horrocks, cook and presenter Andi Oliver, and director Sir Richard Eyre.

Producer: Peter Curran
A Foghorn production for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4
