Nick Mohammed: A BBC Radio Comedy Collection
Four BBC Radio 4 comedies from the award-winning Nick Mohammed, featuring an array of comic creations including Mr Swallow.
Double Emmy-nominated actor, comedian and writer Nick Mohammed is well known for his portrayal of Nate in Ted Lasso and his stage and screen performances as his critically-acclaimed alter ego Mr Swallow. For radio, he has written and starred in four fantastic comedy series, collected together in this audio anthology and co-starring Anna Crilly (Lead Balloon) and Colin Hoult (After Life).
Nick Mohammed In Quarters features fast-paced sketches and monologues from Nick and friends. In these four episodes, you'll meet an awkward loans clerk, a multi-tasking air traffic controller, a travel agent who doesn't do 'exotic' and a manic anger management facilitator. Plus, there's the weather forecast delivered backwards, smoothies in the jungle and the job interview from hell...
Nick Mohammed In Bits comprises four one-off comic plays showcasing some of his best and most idiosyncratic characters, from a detective taking witness statements from an unhappy couple to self-important Sloane student Lila, clueless wildlife presenter Daniel Thornthwaite and lifestyle guru Mr Swallow.
In the hit sitcom Detective Sergeant Nick Mohammed, we join DS Nick and his long-suffering CID colleagues Colin and Anna (plus special guests Peter Dickson, Kate Alexander, Margaret Cabourn-Smith and Will Andrews) as they attempt to solve a murder, tackle hostage negotiations, get to grips with a student protest (with the help of Lila from In Bits), and deal with a bank heist. Series 2 sees the DS discovering a forgery ring, testifying in court, on the trail of a dangerous fugitive and providing additional security for a major event. Never have serious crimes been made more entertaining, whilst remaining utterly, utterly tasteful!
Also included is Apollo 21, a one-off mockumentary profiling the pioneering astronauts from the 1968-1972 moon missions. Forty years after man first set foot on the lunar surface, Buzz Aldrin and Mike Collins come together to commemorate the anniversary and tell their stories - with contributions from Neil Armstrong's mum and Laika, the first dog in space.
