My parts have been prerecorded but you can see the rest of the show being recorded on June 12th and 26th at the newlyrefurbished Radio Theatre Broadcasting House. Tickets are here.

This is surely an improvement on describing it as one of the TV Turkeys of 2005 or when they reported it had been scientifically proven to be one of the worst sitcoms of all time.
