BBC Radio 4 Extra - Sketchorama: Absolutely Special

A special edition devoted to a reunion of classic sketch group Absolutely.

Comedian Thom Tuck presents a special reunion performance from classic sketch group Absolutely, featuring featuring Morwenna Banks and Gordon Kennedy. From August 2013.

Following the audience response to classic sketch group Absolutely's guest appearance on the second series of Radio 4's Sketchorama, this special edition is devoted to the reunion performance and features further, previously unheard material from the recording held in April 2013 at the Oran Mor venue in Glasgow.

The much-loved sketch group - consisting of Pete Baikie, Morwenna Banks, Moray Hunter, Gordon Kennedy and John Sparkes - recorded almost 45 minutes of material so this full half-hour show offers the opportunity to hear even more from Stoneybridge and Calum Gilhooley, as well as new sketches from other Absolutely characters such as Frank Hovis and The Old Lady Artist.

Producer: Gus Beattie.
A Comedy Unit production for BBC Radio 4.
