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 spooned into a mental icing bag and piped in attractive spirals around your credulity.

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

The Earl of Sandwich meeting his nemesis.
Herr Sausage meeting his nemesis.
And in Jane Austen’s Love Island, Elizabeth Bennet meeting … her nemesis.
Meanwhile, two people are trying to find their way out of World of Doors.

These and other hippocampus hatchetted horrors await the incautious patsy.
Make sure your affairs are in order.
