BBC Radio 4 Extra - Expenses Only, 3. Politics

Narrative sketch show centred around two interns in the world of work experience.

Sketch show centred around two work experience interns, with Tim and Miranda in local politics. Stars Lucy Beaumont. From 2016.

Put away your P45, you're not going to need it – it's Expenses Only. Our two young interns Tim and Miranda face canvassing capers, cruel competitions and this year's biggest Christmas card crisis as they struggle to cope through their internship in the seemingly-scandalous world of Politics

Expenses Only is a narrative sketch show by new writer Alex Lynch, centred around internships and the world of work experience.

In each episode, the show's two leading twenty-something protagonists, Tim (enthusiastic worker) and Miranda (jaded graduate), attempt to break into a different industry through a series of increasingly challenging placements.

The series is made up of an ensemble cast and is also tied together using linking sketches, signature ad-breaks and the Narrator who, with his deadpan delivery and wry commentary, guides us through the schadenfreude and chaos that unravels across an episode.
