ON THE BLOG - Series Three goes out every Thursday night at 10pm on BBC Radio 2 from 14 January - 18 February 2010. It is also available for seven days after broadcast on the BBC iplayer. A terrifying event has occurred, a shocking new dawn has broken in the world of Andrew Glasgow. He has been disowned by his mother. At the tender age of 39 the war-gaming blogger faces the biggest battle of his life so far. He needs to find a job...
Starring CAROLINE QUENTIN (Men Behaving Badly), SIMON GREENALL (I’m Alan Partridge) DENICA FAIRMAN (An Arranged Marriage) and the brilliant ANDY TAYLOR (Ruddy Hell It’s Harry & Paul) this third series marks a departure into a whole new territory - computers in the work place.
Circular emails, time-wasting websites and illicit face-booking all come under scrutiny as the series casts a satirical sideswipe at the way we all use new technology in the office.
All this, plus a fresh cast of characters as we’re introduced to Andrew’s weird and wonderful work colleagues, alongside those firm old favourites his mother, ex-girlfriend and war-gaming pals at Rorkes Drift.
Will Andrew manage to update his blog, check his emails, facebook his friends and successfully hold down a day job … ?
Will he ever be allowed back into “Mamma’s bosom”?
It’s hard enough having an ex-girlfriend, let alone an ex-mother.
It is written by KRIS DYER, DAVE MARKS and ANDY TAYLOR and produced by ADAM BROMLEY (Think The Unthinkable, Hut 33) with thanks to DIRK MAGGS.
It is an Above The Title production for BBC Radio 2
