BBC Radio 4 Extra - Expenses Only, 4. Journalism

Narrative sketch show centred around two interns in the world of work experience.

Work experience interns Tim and Miranda tackle journalism. Sketch show starring Rasmus Hardiker and Lucy Beaumont. From 2016.

Put away your P45, you're not going to need it – it's Expenses Only. Our two young interns Tim and Miranda face the responsibility of interning interns, the incredulity of old rivals and the banality of local Amateur Dramatics, as they long to progress from their internship in the tough world of Journalism.

Expenses Only is a narrative sketch show by writer Alex Lynch, centred around internships and the world of work experience.

In each episode, the show's two leading twenty-something protagonists, Tim (enthusiastic worker) and Miranda (jaded graduate), attempt to break into a different industry through a series of increasingly challenging placements.

The series is made up of an ensemble cast and is also tied together using linking sketches, signature ad-breaks and the Narrator who, with his deadpan delivery and wry commentary, guides us through the schadenfreude and chaos that unravels across an episode.
