If you need something to listen to on a lazy Sunday I recommend Dead Ringers.
Dead
Ringers is a weekly topical impressionist sketch show on BBC Radio 4. It's always delivered comically but it's been
particularly on point with the variety of news in the last few weeks.
Highlights include:
A sassy John Humphries.
Kirsty Wark's mamma
And DIANE ABBOT?
All of the above will make sense when
you listen.

The thing that makes Dead Ringers is the
magnified personalities that still sound real. It also does that thing which
radio is so good at. It allows the sketches to take place in bizarre and far
flung places. (Such as putting Jeremy Corbyn on the moon.) Which wouldn't be as
funny or believable on TV
Not no negate how good the TV version
is.
Here's a great clip featuring a youthful
