Lewis Macleod tackles Aberdeen's City Deal, the Murrays and the upcoming Scottish election

Topical news satire starring comedy actor and mimic Lewis Macleod, who tackles Aberdeen's City Deal, mixed fortunes for the Murrays and the upcoming Scottish election.

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 the reporting Aberdeen's City Deal, mix fortunes for the Murrays, the upcoming Scottish Election, and Donald Trump on the campaign trail.
