Patrick Marber and Peter Curran’s riff in the dark discusses reading literature in the nude and ideal death scenes. From 2018.

Patrick Marber and Peter Curran escape from the hurly-burly of the day into their nearest faraway place - the Bunk Bed. 

Recorded in the dark and in bed, this is the perfect place for letting thoughts to drift without rhyme or reason.

This time, they grapple with whether it's disrespectful to read literature in the nude.  

They also describe in detail an imagined death-scene for each other. 

There's strange BBC archive describing what the Ancient Greeks did with their domesticated hyenas, and a frank discussion on the horrors attendant during a country walk with family and friends.
