Few can forget where they were in September 1993 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. Included here are all 10 series of Jeremy Hardy Speaks to the Nation.

Story
Impressionist Alistair McGowan leads a talented cast taking satirical digs at subjects that range from newsworthy to naughty in this wickedly funny topical comedy from the BBC Radio 4 series.
Summary
The complete Series 17 of the award-winning BBC Radio 4 impressions show - plus two Christmas special episodes.
Dead Ringers returns with more sharp, topical comedy in these eight shows, featuring all six episodes from Series 17 as well as the two 2017 Christmas specials. Impressions and caricatures are the charming courtiers of explosively satirical truth bombs as Jon Culshaw, Jan Ravens, Lewis MacLeod, Debra Stephenson and Duncan Wisbey take on the worlds of politics and entertainment.
There's some postelection skewering for Theresa May, Jeremy Corbyn and Tim Farron; 'Arlene from Belfast' calls Moneybox Live for advice about her sudden windfall; and gossipy 'Govey' leaves backstabbing answerphone messages for Nicola Sturgeon and Leanne Wood. Plus, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer receives a late-night phone call; Hilary Mantel joins Gardeners' Question Time; and David Sedaris and Alan Bennett have a biscuit-off....
The two Christmas editions feature HM The Queen, Dame Joan Bakewell and 'Brexit Bulldog' David Davis as well as taking a look at how Britain's media would cope if Donald Trump pushed the button.
Produced by Bill Dare
Written by Tom Jamieson, Nev Fountain, Tom Coles, Ed Amsden, Sarah Campbell, Laurence Howarth, James Bugg, Laura Major, Max Davis and Jack Bernhardt
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4, 16 June-21 July 2017 (series 17) and 22-29 December 2017 (Christmas specials)
