BBC Radio 4 - The Absolutely Radio Show, Series 2, Episode 3

Sketches from Little Girl, Frank, Rev McMinn and Calum Gilhooley.

The Little Girl has views on the truth and Reverend McMinn has a surprise encounter. With Gordon Kennedy. From 2017.

The Little Girl shares her views on what is or isn't the Truth, Frank Hovis inviting us to support his new charity and the Reverend McMinn having a surprise encounter in his local minimart with a visiting President.

The Tour Guide takes us on a trip round what may possibly be Edinburgh and Calum Gilhooley giving some unhelpful and unwelcome advice to a train ticket collector. 

Plus songs about addiction to being healthy and the joys or otherwise of middle age, a look at the perils of box set bingeing and a brand new, same-as-all-the-rest police drama about a TV detective who is always off the case.

The cast of TV's hugely popular sketch show are back, revisiting some of their much-loved sketch characters, while also introducing some newcomers to the show.
