Sam Bain's comedy of a man so obsessed with celebrity trivia, his own life passes him by.

4 Extra Debut. Pierre is so obsessed with TV celebrity gossip that it stops him from living his actual life. Stars Alex Macqueen. From 2017.

Sam Bain (Peep Show, Fresh Meat) has adapted his novel Yours Truly, Pierre Stone into a dark and disconcerting radio comedy. 

The story is told in Pierre's own voice as he records messages for his most favourite TV star, Tess Daly and asks her all about her life - messages that are doomed to go forever unanswered. 

But Pierre's passion to find out more about Tess's favourite dress gets in the way of him dealing with his own problems, including a mother in hospital and mounting uncertainty about where his next meal is coming from.

Pierre is a TV trivia obsessed innocent living in a world whose bigger challenges he would rather not think about. 

Starring Alex Macqueen (The Thick of It) as Pierre. 

Producer: Gareth Edwards

A BBC Studios Production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in October 2017.
