Summary

The complete fourth series of brief musical comedies—as heard on BBC Radio 4. These musical comedies contain some of the most foot-tapping satire you’ll ever hear. In "Westminster Side Story," Gordon Brown and David Cameron are two gang leaders with nothing to fight about.  In "Life on Noel," Noel Edmonds wakes up in 2007 and is desperate to return to 1973 in this 70s glam-rock musical. In "How Do You Stop a Woman Like Camilla?" Camilla Parker Bowles leaves the convent to help look after Charles Von Windsor’s huge family of two boys. In "When You Wish upon a Car," a tornado dumps Jeremy Clarkson under the rainbow in the car-free and pedestrian-friendly Land of Oz. In "The Princess and the Frog Chorus," Ringo Starr narrates a tabloid fairytale about Heather, a young princess, and Paul, a not-so-young mega-rich pop prince. Finally, in "Around the World in 15 Minutes," Tony Phileas Blair accepts a bet from Gordon Brown that he can’t solve the world’s problems in a quarter of an hour. The complete fourth BBC Radio 4 series by Dave Cohen, David Quantick, and Richie Webb.
