A Brief History of Timewasting

on BBC Radio 4 FM

A six-part comedy series by Linda Smith set in her East End home. With day trips to Argos and regular jaunts chauffered by Wara the philosophical cabby, it's a wonder she finds time to tune in to Thought for the Day.
With Femi Elufowoju Jr, Jeremy Hardy, Martin Hyder, Margaret John, Chris Neill, Colin Sell, and special appearances from Rabbi Lionel Blue and Jenni Murray. Producer Lucy Armitage
