BBC Radio 4 - Mark Watson Talks a Bit About Life, Series 2, Possessions

Mark Watson attempts to make sense of life, assisted by Sam Simmons and Will Adamsdale.

Mark discusses our need for possessions. We spend a lot of life accruing stuff, but does it really make us happy? From August 2016.

Mark Watson discusses our need for possessions.

We spend a lot of life accruing stuff. Does it really make us happy? Would we be better off throwing it all in the river? Is there a middle ground where we can throw most of it in the lake, but keep our car because it's useful?

Multi-award winning Mark Watson is assisted and impeded in equal measure by henchmen Sam Simmons and Will Adamsdale, in his quest to make some sort of sense of life, against the backdrop of a world that has, in recent times, come to seem even more peculiar than usual. 

The tenacious trio take on some of human life's central topics - family, spirituality, Scandinavia. Watson peddles his unique, high-octane stand-up while Simmons and Adamsdale chip in with interjections which include (but are not limited to) music, shopping lists, life advice, stunts, avant-garde offerings and divvy interactions.

Expect big laughs, controlled chaos and an attempt to answer the one question none of us can quite escape from - what exactly is going on?

Producer:  Lianne Coop
