About this listen

John Finnemore presents the eighth series of his multi-award-winning Souvenir Programme

‘The best sketch show in years, on television or radio’ Radio Times

John Finnemore, creator and star of Cabin Pressure and John Finnemore’s Double Acts, is back with Series 8 of his highly acclaimed radio sketch show, winner of the Academy Silver Award, a Broadcasting Press Guild award and two BBC Audio Drama awards.

In these six episodes, John cooks a particularly good lasagne, Noah gets some bad news about the ark, we hear a legendary swansong, and there’s some helpful guidance on the etiquette of ‘Thank Yous’ – as well as a look into the devastating consequences of World Peace. Plus, there’s some merry names, some handy mnemonics, an epiphany and a show that will make you feel like a princess – whether you want it to or not. And, well… since you ask him whether he believes in ghosts…

Hailed by The Daily Telegraph as ‘funny enough to make even the surliest cat laugh’, John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme also features his regular ensemble cast of Margaret Cabourn-Smith, Simon Kane, Lawry Lewin and Carrie Quinlan.

John Finnemore is so talented. I’ve listened to this dozens of times but it still makes me laugh. Impossible to sleep if this is on at night because of laughing so much.

Unsurpassably brilliant.

Souvenir Programme is just fab as something to have on whilst I do practical tasks or wind down in general. It’s not laugh out loud funny at every second but it’s just enough to make me chuckle every now and then. The cast, as ever, are fantastic.

Wonderful, as always

I've had 2 weeks off and binged every series of his Souvenir Programme. Every episode in every series has had me laughing.

One of the funniest shows that Radio 4 has produced.

More fantastic storytelling from John.

I loved this laugh out loud series. Appropriate for children. I found this very very funny and I think the since you asked me should be bedtime stories on tv.

So good

Very
Good please make more 5 stars from me

Perfect

Finnermore (and team) are very talented but this volume merely repeats in a very stretched way several of the old brilliant original sketches. The Series really goes up and down after about Vol 4 I find and IMO this is one of the downs. Difficult to get a good (original-type) laugh here, more silly than surreal.. sadly.

Alas, drags
