Available for years

Creators of the smash 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 cobwebbed environs of their mildewed minds, known only as: The Nether Regions.

Manacled to the dripping walls are bright young talents Helen Cripps, Ed Rowett, and Holly Morgan.

The Nether Regions is our dystopian present – it’s Now, through the prism of Then, with nothing in between.

Past, present and future are crammed into a temporal Nutri-Bullet and emerge as an oozing smoothie of weirdness.

Scream in terror. Then listen to the show. Then scream in terror again as you witness:

Depressing Scandinavian Game Show, Nordic Celebrity Damaged Detective Mystery Squares.
Previously unheard auditions that didn’t make it to the movie, including Alan Bennett’s Hannibal Lecter and Sir John Gielgud trying out for Taxi Driver.
The perils of adopting a rescue boyfriend.
And a valuable boiled sweet.

These and other limbic system loppers await the imprudent audiophile.
Prepare your escape route now.
