Creators of the hit Radio 4 Sci Fi comedy Quanderhorn, Rob Grant (Son of Cliché, Spitting Image, Red Dwarf) and Andrew Marshall (Burkiss Way, Whoops Apocalypse, 2point4children) invite you back for a deeper glimpse into the steaming primordial swamps of their hideously contorted imaginations, known only as The Nether Regions.

Trapped with them in the dank basements of their fetid minds are sparkling young talents Helen Cripps, Edward Rowett and Holly Morgan.

The Nether Regions is our dystopian present – it’s now, but not now, and then, but now. Not.

Past, present and future merge into one writhing tortured tangle, where the Naked Truth climbs out of the window, because Fake News has come home unexpectedly early.

Continuing the mirth, mayhem and something else beginning with M of the highly acclaimed pilot show. Scream in terror. Then listen to the show. Then scream in terror again, as you witness:

Our classic serial, adapted from the long-lost manuscript of Jane Austen’s Love Island
The smash hit Seventies Cop show, Oh My God – A Woman’s in Charge!
1920s English Batman, having trouble with his new hotline
Priceless Life Hacks in Nether Regions Clickbait.

These and other mind-munching experiences await the unwary listener. Make sure you book a return ticket.
