BBC Radio 4 - Mark Watson Talks a Bit About Life, Series 4, Tuesday's Child Is...

Award-winning comedian Mark Watson re-embarks on his doomed quest to understand life.

Multi-award winning comedian Mark Watson, aided by the sardonic musical merit of Flo & Joan, looks at the week as a metaphor for our lifetimes. With special guest Angela Barnes.

Multi-award winning comedian and author Mark Watson continues his probably doomed, but luckily funny quest to make sense of the human experience.

This series is about time - the days of the week, the stages of our existence - and the way we use it to make sense of things. We make our way through the working week - tonight it's Tuesday. What does 'full of grace' mean in a secular world? Why is it so hard to swim in a straight line? And why did a crumpet almost wreck Mark's relationship with his son?

Expect jokes, observations and interactions galore as Mark is aided, and sometimes obstructed, by the sardonic musical excellence of Flo & Joan. There's also a hand-picked comedy colleague each week - this time it's the turn of Angela Barnes. 

Producer: Lianne Coop
