A trilogy of special episodes from the multi-award-winning show
‘The funniest man on the radio’ The Telegraph
In 2023 John Finnemore and the Souvenir Programme team returned to Radio 4 with a new format – annual, one-off, 45-minute Specials. Some are in the style of Series 1-8, with sketches, jokes and songs, while others are more discursive and experimental, like Series 9. Collected together here, they all feature his trusty ensemble cast of Margaret Cabourn-Smith, Simon Kane, Lawry Lewin and Carrie Quinlan.
2023’s Special sees a palaeontologist try to not lose his head, a husband try to explain why he’s going to Milan, and the world’s top golfer getting a surprise. We also meet an admirer of Dr Watson, hear from a member of the silent majority, and our regular interviewer, Patsy Straightwoman, hears some home truths from the experts. And… well, since you ask him for a fantastical tale about an amazing voyage...
In 2024’s edition, John regales us with the story of the small Dorset village he’s moved to, and the big, collective decision the residents just made. We’re introduced to his neighbours – including Joy from The Forge, Human Roo, the Cherrys and Melody, who can’t park in the dark – and learn all about the local landmarks, from Staveacre Farm to the tiny, ancient church of St Thomas’; the ex-pub that’s now part house, part speakeasy; and the dog-grooming salon that’s definitely a front for something (though probably not a meth lab). Warm-hearted, charming and quirky, it’ll make you want to pay a visit yourself – just watch out for the cows as you go past Farmer Teal’s place...
Details of 2025’s special episode are yet to come… we can’t wait!

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 143
Vienna, 1911. Gustav Klimt, the most famous painter in the Austrian Empire, the darling of Viennese society, spots a woman’s nude body in the Danube canal. He knows he should summon a policeman, but he can’t resist stopping to make a sketch first. And as he draws, the woman coughs. She’s alive! Back at his studio, Klimt and his model-turned-muse Wally tend to the erstwhile-drowned girl. She’s nearly feral and doesn’t remember who she is, or how she came to be floating in the canal. Klimt names her Judith, after one of his most famous paintings, and resolves to help her find her memory.

Set during World War Two, Hut 33 follows the adventures of a team of codebreakers at Bletchley Park as they work tirelessly to break German codes, matching wits with the fabled Enigma Machine. Unfortunately, they hate each other. Archie is a stroppy Geordie socialist revolutionary while Professor Charles Gardner is a toffee-nosed snob. In theory, the immensely stupid 3rd Lt. Joshua Featherstonhaugh-Marshall is in charge of the hut, but he is still struggling with even the most basic concepts....

Once in a blue moon, a book comes along that changes the world. The Origin of Species. War and Peace. 1984. And now, Cunk on Everything: The Encyclopedia Philomena, by Philomena Cunk. Philomena Cunk is one of the greatest thinkers of the 21st century, and in Cunk on Everything she turns her attention to our biggest issue: why are there so many books? Wouldn't it be better if there was just one? This is that book—an encyclopedia of all human knowledge, delving into not only life's greatest mysteries but our most important political figures and cultural touchstones.
