Saying the Plot Out Loud

[sawyl]

Very much enjoyed John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme. The sketch about the radio afternoon drama, Saying the Plot Out Loud was a particularly funny spoof of all those terribly worthy things that R4 churns out during the week where everything is spelt out in painfully obvious detail. The sign off message was particularly good:

Lucy's Complex Dilemma was written by the BBC Dramabot 5000. And if you've been affected by any of the issues in the play, then God knows, you've had them painstakingly clarified for you now.

I think all radio plays should finish like this...
