BBC Radio 4 - Can't Tell Nathan Caton Nothing, Series 2, About Poorly Relatives

Nathan Caton is unsympathetic when his parents are sick, as he has an important gig.

When his parents are ill, Nathan's unsympathetic - an attitude he’s inherited from his Grandma. With Adjoa Andoh. From May 2013.

Nathan Caton is unsympathetic when his parents are poorly as he has an important gig and needs to be on his A game. 

But he agrees not to tell Grandma that they're poorly as she doesn't believe in poorly. 

This is the story of young, up-and-coming comedian Nathan Caton, who becomes the first in his family to graduate from University - only to opt for a career in comedy - much to his family's annoyance who want him to get a 'proper job' using his architecture degree.

Each episode shows the criticism, interference and rollercoaster ride that Nathan endures from his family as he pursues his career against their wishes.

Will Nathan be able to persist and follow his dreams? Or will he give in to his family's interference?

A mix of Nathan's stand-up intercut with scenes from his family life.

Written by: Nathan Caton.
