BBC Radio 4 Extra - Mark Watson's Live Address to the Nation, Ambition

Mark Watson continues his quest to improve the world and invites you to join in...LIVE.

Mark Watson continues his quest to improve the world, nimbly assisted by Tim Key and Tom Basden. Mark asks the big questions and invites listeners to join in the live broadcast.

Brand new pilot from Mark Watson where he continues his quest to improve the world, nimbly assisted by Tim Key and Tom Basden and with the additional help of the listening audience as we broadcast live and invite them to join in. 

Mark will be asking the big questions that are crucial to our understanding of ourselves and society - in a dynamic and thought provoking new format he opens the floor to the live audience and invites them to jump into the conversation via tweets and messages to work out how we can all make the world a better place.

This week Mark looks at "Ambition" - is it always positive thing to be ambitiously reaching for the stars, even if those stars are way out of our galaxy? Or should we sometimes be a bit more humble and accept our shortcomings.

Mark Watson is a multi award winning comedian, including the inaugural If.Comedy Panel Prize 2006. He is assisted by Tim Key, winner of Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2009 and Tom Basden who won the the If.Comedy Award for Best Newcomer 2007.
