Beskrivelse
Few can forget where they were all those years ago when they first heard ”Jeremy Hardy Speaks To The Nation”. The show was an immediate smash-hit success, causing pubs to empty on a Saturday night, which was particularly astonishing since the show went out on Thursdays.
Since that fateful first series, the show has gone on to win Sony Awards, Writers Guild nominations and a Nobel Prize for Chemistry with lines like - ”Kids should never be fashion slaves, especially in the Far East. My 12-year old daughter asked me for a new pair of trainers. I told her she was old enough to go out and make her own”.
”The master of quietly inflammatory comedy” - The Evening Standard
”Made me drop the kettle in shock , but worth it” - Gillian Reynolds in The Daily Telegraph
”The one-liners come hit the target time and again so that you've hardly stopped grinning from one gag before the next one comes along ...” -The Evening Standard
Passion, polemic, wit and vigour, but surprisingly, no singing as Britain's most dedicated satirist returns to the airwaves once again. This episode - ”How To Confront The Vexed Issue of British Identity Without Getting In The Most Fearful Bate About The Whole Thing” with Shappi Khorsandi ('Gavin & Stacey') & Gordon Kennedy ('The Halcyon' / 'Absolutely')
