BBC Radio 4 - Look Away Now, Series 4, Episode 1

Garry Richardson presents a topical sports comedy show.

Garry Richardson presents a topical sports comedy show. With Laurence Howarth, Richie Webb, Dave Lamb.

Garry Richardson anchors the topical show where sport meets comedy.  Featuring hot-off-the-press World Cup bulletins, sports sketches, spoof interviews, non-expert analysis and music, Look Away Now covers the last five days of sports as well as the sporting weekend ahead.  It proudly looks backwards and forwards at the same time, a bit like Linda Blair in the Exorcist except with less vomit and more badminton.

Garry Richardson presents Look Away Now as he does 'Sportsweek' or his sports bulletins on 'Today'. His voice of authority is the pivot around which the comedy action takes place. The straighter he plays it, the funnier the show is...

GARRY." Welcome to Look Away Now, the show where sport meets comedy - imagine Sir Alex Ferguson's trousers falling down just as the vicar arrives for tea..."

Look Away Now is on Thursday nights at 6.30pm from 10th June and is released as a podcast.  Joining Garry Richardson will be our core cast of comedy writer/performers Laurence Howarth, Dave Lamb and Richie Webb, alongside a number of different guest stand-up comedians and sporting celebrities.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
