BBC Radio 4 - Sam Simmons Is Not a People Person, Magicians

Sam and Henry are on island of Patos, trying to find a very rare heron.

Seeking a rare heron on the island of Patos. Sam and Henry are trying to make a bird show – but there’s distractions. From 2017.

Comedian. Writer. Ex-Zoo Keeper. Bird Watcher. Definitely NOT a people person. 

Sam and Henry are making a series about birds, and armed with Sam's 'Big Book of Birds' they're looking out for a different species in each episode.

Sadly, and despite Henry's very best efforts, Sam keeps being distracted by the people they run into. Each encounter sparks an investigation into Sam's past, because once they've sorted out his issues, then they'll really be able to focus on the bird-watching.

Now they're on the island of Patos, trying to find a very rare heron. 

The unique talents of the multi-award winning Sam Simmons have landed.
