Ego
Fantastical comedic look at entertaining apocalypses on parallel Earths. Stars David Soul and Simon Day. From December 2010.
We all worry about the end of the world, as economists and environmentalists speak in apocalyptic terms everyday.
iGOD says that trying to predict the end of the world is as pointless as moisturising an elephant's elbow.
Late-night comedy starring Simon Day and David Soul.
Written Sean Gray - one of the head writers of the BAFTA award-winning The Thick Of It.
In each episode, an unnamed, all-seeing narrator (David Soul) shows us that it is stupid to be worrying, as he looks back at some of the most entertaining apocalypses on parallel Earths.
Each week our case study is a normal bloke called Ian (Simon Day) who manages to accidentally initiate the apocalypse of a different parallel world through a seemingly harmless single act (telling a lie, being lazy, cooking some lambshanks).
A succession of comic vignettes ensue that escalate to the end of a parallel world.
Producer: Simon Nicholls
First broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in December 2010.
