Lewis Macleod's Wired News

Series 1

Episode 3: Andy Murray's preparations for fatherhood, the Oscars row, the Litvinenko affair and Arnie visiting Edinburgh.

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio OrkneyLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio Scotland Highlands and Islands

Wired News is a contemporary topical news satire starring Lewis Macleod. After a successful pilot and a Commonwealth Games Special in 2014, Lewis and the Wired News team are back for a new series on BBC Radio Scotland. Lewis will be playing a heightened version of himself as the host of our mock news show 'Wired News'. He will be joined once again by fictional female co-host Anita Corduroy, played by Gabriel Quigley. Their on-air chemistry is notoriously recognisable, and their clenched teeth banter between stories hides a truly hateful relationship - basically the perfect radio presenting combo!

The show will focus its satirical attention this week on Andy Murray preparing for Fatherhood, the escalating Oscars race row, and the implications for Scotland after the recent Litvinenko affair.
