Radio comedy at its best
If you could sum up John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme: The Complete Series 1 in three words, what would they be?
Witty; funny; warm.
What was one of the most memorable moments of John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme: The Complete Series 1?
There are plenty of memorable moments - too many to list. It helps that John Finnemore's writing is intelligent and witty without being smug (a problem with some Radio 4 comedies).
Have you listened to any of John Finnemore’s other performances? How does this one compare?
This is a good starting point from which to explore John Finnemore's work. The other series and Cabin Pressure are well worth a listen. I have found the quality to be consistently high throughout the various series.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Kept me smiling throughout. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments too.
Any additional comments?
I genuinely recommend this and encourage you to try the other series too - they are a real delight.

A true rib-breaker.
Any additional comments?
It's simply hilarious, in a very British way. White humour with a healthy dose of silliness.

John Finaganza
I've listed to quite a few of John Finnemore's radio comedies, with my favourite being cabin pressure.
This compilation of sketches is quite brilliant and has really made me fall I. Love with his writing and comedic style.
I want more now, so come on john, don't disappoint.

Bears repetition...
I have listened to this series several times and I keep finding new puns and bits of business to enjoy. Very much my new favourite thing.
I am saving the next few series for a suitable car journey - it is not easy holding back!

Very funny sketches, second to Cabin Pressure
Would you listen to John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme: The Complete Series 1 again? Why?
A great chuckle, just love his witty humour. Some of the sketches are a little short, and I think the structure of a longer narrative, as in Cabin Pressure, works better, but these are still extremely funny.
What did you like best about this story?
The dialogue is cracking. Loved "The Archers" for those who don't really watch the Archers"
Have you listened to any of John Finnemore’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Cabin Pressure - different character, same wit.

The best.
It really is the best comedy. It never stops being funny. I don’t know what else to put for the minimum word limit.
