Summary
WINNER of the BBC Audio Drama Award 2015 for Best Scripted Comedy (Studio Audience)
The complete third and fourth series of BBC Radio 4’s award-winning sketch show, written by and starring the writer of Cabin Pressure.
In the third and fourth series of his hit sketch show, John Finnemore examines a typically eclectic range of issues including making friends, the problem with polymath bestselling authors, the colour of posh men’s trousers, and a history of choice.
There’s also a sketch that is much, much too rude, advice on dealing with bullies, the truth behind some famous anecdotes, and the curious tale of a hard-bitten dame.
Intelligent, absurd and laugh-out-loud funny, John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme also features Margaret Cabourn-Smith, Simon Kane, Lawry Lewin and Carrie Quinlan. Awarded Best Radio Comedy at the Chortle Awards, John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme comes from the writer of Cabin Pressure and regular contributor to The Now Show.

Great songs and sketches abound
If you ever wanted to know how to organise an uprising (by email), what Tesco's legacy will be or why posh men wear red trousers... Mr Finnemore may have the answers!

Good but not classic
Some very funny sketches, most amusing with a few duds, Cabin Pressure is John's better work.

Brilliant John Finnemore
What made the experience of listening to John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme the most enjoyable?
He is one of the funniest comedian/writers I've ever heard. I envy his ability to look at ordinary situations 'sideways' then make a vastly entertaining sketch about it.Who else would have thought to write a sketch from the p.o.v. on an airport sniffer dog (for example)?
What was one of the most memorable moments of John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme?
The sniffer dog sketch with the 'spiny porcupine' song running it a close second.
What about the narrators’s performance did you like?
It's the wonderfully, unremittingly cheerful (but oddly not annoying) way he speaks.The rest of the cast are also great!
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Red Trousers
Any additional comments?
If you like this, you will love Cabin Pressure (plus you get to hear Benedict Cumberbatch as an insecure idiot - bonus).
