Small Scenes

Series 1-4 of the hit BBC Radio 4 comedy sketch show

Summary

Daniel Rigby, Mike Wozniak, Cariad Lloyd, Henry Paker and Jessica Ransom star in this comedy sketch show featuring overblown, melodramatic scenes from modern life.

From ludicrous scenarios ranging from conspiracies behind cryptic crosswords, the perils of dating a banker, and someone accidentally being buried alive, this sketch show takes the normal and makes them ridiculous. The team uncover a conspiracy behind cryptic crosswords, encounter a saxophonist who is tortured by his inability to play the solo from Baker Street and discover what happens if you buy Chris de Burgh's old house.

Written by Benjamin Partridge, Henry Paker and Mike Wozniak, with additional material from the cast, this ridiculous, surreal and witty series also stars Sara Pascoe.

Produced by Simon Mayhew-Archer
A BBC Studios Production
