2023 Special
John Finnemore and the Souvenir Programme team return to Radio 4 with a one-off, 45-minute episode packed with sketches and song.
John Finnemore returns with a one-off edition of his Souvenir Programme, joined as ever by his cast of Margaret Cabourn-Smith, Simon Kane, Lawry Lewin and Carrie Quinlan, as well as composer Susannah Pearse at the piano and cellist Sally Stares on the drum.
This forty-five minute special sees a palaeontologist try to not lose his head, a husband try to explain why he’s going to Milan, and the world’s top golfer getting a surprise. We also hear from a member of the silent majority and our regular interviewer hears from someone else. And… well, since you ask him for a story about an amazing journey…
