BBC Radio 4 - Drama on 4, The Strange Vanishing of Julian Quark

Toby Jones and Doon Mackichan star in Tom Wainwright's surreal political comedy.

Newly-elected Prime Minister Julian Quark (Toby Jones) is in a political pickle: every time he tells a lie a body part disappears. Surreal and delightful comedy by Tom Wainwright.

By Tom Wainwright

After reneging on all of his election pledges, newly-elected Prime Minister Julian Quark is alarmed to discover that his right ear is missing. And that's just the start of it. It seems that there's a correlation between his dishonesty and the continual disappearance of body parts. As his own physical being diminishes so do his chances of halting the curse.
