BBC Radio Scotland - Lewis Macleod's Wired News, Series 1, Andy Murray's preparations for fatherhood, the Oscars row, the Litvinenko affair and Arnie visiting Edinburgh.

Lewis MacLeod tackles Andy Murray's preparations for fatherhood, the Oscars row and more.

Topical satire with Lewis Macleod and the Wired News team, featuring Andy Murray's preparations for fatherhood, the Oscars row, the Litvinenko affair and Arnie visiting Edinburgh.

Wired News is a contemporary topical news satire starring Lewis Macleod. After a successful pilot and a Commonwealth Games Special in 2014, Lewis and the Wired News team are back for a new series on BBC Radio Scotland. Lewis will be playing a heightened version of himself as the host of our mock news show 'Wired News'. He will be joined once again by fictional female co-host Anita Corduroy, played by Gabriel Quigley. Their on-air chemistry is notoriously recognisable, and their clenched teeth banter between stories hides a truly hateful relationship - basically the perfect radio presenting combo! 

The show will focus its satirical attention this week on Andy Murray preparing for Fatherhood, the escalating Oscars race row, and the implications for Scotland after the recent Litvinenko affair.

Starring: Lewis Macleod
