Alan Parker's Christmas Special

A festive mix of comedy and music from the self-styled Urban Warrior, first broadcast on Radio 1 in 1994. Stars Simon Munnery.

From radical self-defence ideas to telling all on the splits in his own band.

The self-styled Urban Warrior presents a festive mix of comedy and music – from punk to 1980s and 90s chart and subverted Christmas favourites.

With:

Peter Baynham
Mandy Knight
Paul Tonkinson
Peter Serafinowicz.

Alan Parker sets out to subvert the system and spread his indoctrination - only held back by his wide ignorance and dumb diatribes.

Created by Simon Munnery, the revolutionary sets out to make ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 1 FM more subversive and left-wing, though the station tried to make him go home quietly and have an early night instead.

Simon Munnery was crowned 'Newcomer of the Year' at the 1994 Sony Radio Awards for his creation and portrayal of Radio 1's cult comedy hero.

Producer: Aled Evans

First broadcast on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 1 on Boxing Day 1994.
