Members of the cast of Channel 4's hugely popular sketch show Absolutely reunite for this radio sketch show series.
Pete Baikie, Morwenna Banks, Moray Hunter, Gordon Kennedy and John Sparkes are back together with all new material. They are revisiting some of their much-loved sketch characters, while also introducing some newcomers to the show.
Returning characters include Stoneybridge Town Council; Welsh DIY lovers Denzil & Gwynedd; The Little Girl; the scatological Frank Hovis; and Calum Gilhooley, the most boring man in the world.
In 2013, the group re-formed for a special for Radio 4's Sketchorama. The episode won a BBC Audio Drama Award in the Best Live Scripted Comedy category, which led to this show.
