King Stupid
Summary
King Stupid is a new Radio Four panel game in which four panellists are funny. It's not the News, sport, adverts, other panel games, or anything!
It has a chairman called William Vandyck; he's a writer performer and also a barrister, but he's got more hair than Clive Anderson. He's funny. It's written by Kevin Cecil and Andy Riley, who are two extremely original and fresh writers who, amongst their many writing credits, have contributed some of the best stuff to Friday Night Armistice. They're funny. Amongst the regular panellists are Peter Baynham, Sue Perkins, Simon Pegg, and Dave Green.
The show is produced by David Tyler for Pozzitive, the people who bought you Jeremy Hardy Speaks to the Nation and The Very World Of Milton Jones. King Stupid: the show that likes to dumb up. This download contains all six episodes.

Kevin Eldon Will See You Now
Summary
The fourth series of the award-winning show. Kevin Eldon is a comedy phenomenon. He’s been in virtually every major comedy show in the last 15 years, but not content with working with the likes of Chris Morris, Steve Coogan, Armando Iannucci, Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse, Stewart Lee, Julia Davis and Graham Linehan, he’s also created his own comedy series for BBC Radio 4. In this series, Kevin gives the show a narrative turn, as he pretends to be broadcasting from the Eldon family's stately home, complete with Morwenna Banks ('Absolutely') as his artistic genius Italian wife Alessandra, Kate Duchêne as Helen, the family archivist and Miles Jupp and Justin Edwards as Kevin's adopted twin sons, Jacob and Rees (and their cat Mogg). Also joining the show are Dan 'Angelos Epithemiou' Skinner - whilst Catherine Shepherd, David Reed and Paul Putner play the usual wild range of characters.... The show is written by Kevin with additional material by Jason Hazeley and Joel Morris ('Philomena Cunk' and yes, those modern Ladybird books). The show comes from Pozzitive, proud producers of Cabin Pressure, Thanks a Lot, Milton Jones!, Jeremy Hardy Speaks to the Nation, The Brig Society, The Castle, Armando Iannucci’s Charm Offensive and Agendum.... In the first episode, we present the show from Kevin’s very own mansion, complete with an Italian genius, a brace of pedantic sons, a giraffe on a pulley and Britain’s noisiest toast as Kevin’s adopted twin sons Jacob and Rees declare independence form the family home.... In Show 2, why not take a stroll through the Eldon family archive as we get to meet Kevin’s ancestors, discover the true value of £35 billion pounds and wallow in mud. Show 3, and Kevin Eldon and his all-important cast enjoy a naked tractor ride, a dusty humbug and a love story with cannons. And in the fourth and final episode, we hear the sounds of multiple flamethrowers, God and an archivist being flung onto a lorry. Written by Kevin Eldon, with additional material by Jason Hazeley and Joel Morris. Produced and directed by David Tyler. A Pozzitive production for the BBC.

The 99p Challenge: Series 1-5
Summary
Starring the cream of UK writer/performers and comedians over its lifetime, including Simon Pegg, Sue Perkins, Miranda Hart, Nick Frost, Bill Bailey and Armando Iannucci, this is the complete and utter award-winning silly panel game that's not about music, sport, advertising or hats.
The show was written by the writers of Friday Night Armistice and Black Books and was described by The Guardian as “good enough to be the successor to I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue".
Plus bonus series King Stupid that launched the whole thing, starring Sue Perkins, Simon Pegg, Morwenna Banks and Peter Baynham, the brains behind I'm Alan Partridge and Sacha Baron-Cohen's cowriter.
Hear them as they spend a whole series trying to decide which stall they'd like to see at a village fete and decide it's a toss-up between Paint the Face of a Child on a Tiger stall and a Get the Angry Bear Down from the Cross competition. Meanwhile, they'll be discussing such vital issues as how to beat crime and how to sip coffee through a sausage, and they'll also be pondering the question "if an apple a day keeps the doctor away, what does a watermelon a minute do?"
