The Hauntening

The Complete Series 3 of the BBC Radio 4 Comedy

Summary

Modern technology is terrifying. The average smartphone carries out three-point-three-six billion instructions per second. The average person can only carry out one instruction in that time. Stop and think about that for a second. Sorry, that's two instructions; you won't be able to do that.

But what if modern technology was... literally terrifying? What if there really was a ghost in the machine? Travel through the bad gateway in this modern ghost story as award-winning writer and performer Tom Neenan ("The Mash Report", "Spitting Image") discovers what horrors may lurk in our apps and gadgets...

With a full cast including Nina Sosanya (W1A, His Dark Materials), Julian Rhind-Tutt (Green Wing), Andy Nyman (Fiddler On the Roof, Ghost Stories), Freya Parker (Lazy Susan) & Georgie Glen (Call The Midwife, The Thick Of It)

In the first episode of series 3 - hang on, let me just put you on hold...

In Show 2, Tom & Heidi are trapped in a terrifying situation - and have to make a horrifying decision...

In the next episode, a brand-new exercise bike means Tom has to stay ahead of the pack - in every sense...

... and in the final episode, we discover there is something even worse than a nightmare as sweet dreams turn very very sour...


This show comes from Pozzitive, proud producers of Cabin Pressure, John Finnemore's Double Acts, Thanks A Lot, Milton Jones!, Agendum, Armando Iannucci's Charm Offensive & Kevin Eldon Will See You Now...
