Channel 4 Go Greek For A Week

admin — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 11:43:45 +0000

Somehow, I’ve ended up narrating tonight’s last-minute Channel 4 Dispatches Special, “Go Greek For A Week”. It stars Brian Blessed’s stand-in as a dodgy Greek accountant and features a bewildered bus driver uncannily similar to David Brent. It’s on at 8pm and replaces “Stephen Hawking: Interesting Laser Beams I Have Known”, which now time-travels to a different slot, even though it’s still listed in most magazines and newspapers. If you miss the show, it’ll probably be on 4oD, unless there are too many complaints about my pronunciation of “fakelaki” (envelope stuffed with a cash, apparently).

I directed this sketch with the lovely Rhona Cameron (she wrote it) for Paramount Comedy a few years back. It’s about modern manners and how they cause mental breakdown!
