About 2,000 Years of Radio
A comedy sketch show recreating the bygone eras of radio, featuring the hilarious work of Marcus Brigstocke, Danny Robbins, Dan Tetsell and others If you thought radio started with Marconi, you were wrong, and here’s the proof – twelve extraordinary archive recordings from the past two millennia of the wireless. Join DJs Steve in the Afternoon and Suzanne Canker for some historical humour and hot takes on the Roman invasion, the First World War, the Crusades, the original Olympic Games – and much, much more. Tune in to Radio Victoriana for steam-powered shenanigans from the Great Exhibition (and all the latest inventions), climb aboard HMS Beagle for a scientifical journey with Charles Darwin, find out who really wrote Shakespeare’s plays and prepare for a right royal knockabout as Suzanne’s cohorts do battle with Henry VIII’s radio Reformation. Plus, get your regular end-of-the-world updates from Dark Age FM, enjoy Championship Matchmaking live from Georgian Bath, and listen in as Charles I (or is it Steve?) faces the scaffold in a Civil War Execution Special... Written and performed by Marcus Brigstocke, Danny Robbins and Dan Tetsell ( The Museum of Everything ), and a team of comedic talents including Claire Downes and Stuart Lane ( The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin ), this funny, fast-paced sketch show is like Horrible Histories , but for grown-ups.
