Just caught the last episode of #TheSkewer and can take heart that, while my sketch didn't get on, I was on the right track in the structure and even the punchline. Definitely progressed this series. #WritingCommunity

And it includes our latest ever submission for the show, less than 10 hours before broadcast.

What was in last night's episode of #TheSkewer to mean it's still not on BBC Sounds this morning? Are there a lot of compliance officers and lawyers meticulously reviewing a five second piece against slander law?

Very slow off the mark (it's been one of those weeks) but here's the latest episode of #TheSkewer featuring a couple of things from us including Trump the Joker.

Delighted to get a fifth sketch for the series into #TheSkewer before the deadline, considering my first draft went in the bin late last night and I had an epiphany just before going to sleep that led to a rapid hunt for new material. #WritingCommunity

Right. I'm giving you over 30 minutes notice this week that #TheSkewer is on Radio 4 at 11.15pm.
That's plenty time to make a cup of tea, put the bins out, brush your teeth or whatever it is you need to do.

Here is this week's episode of #TheSkewer which features a little something from us about the Greatest Showman Farage and his circus of freaks. (The sound team have done an INCREDIBLE job with the music for it)

You wait years for a credit on #TheSkewer, then get two in the same series. Grab some headphones and get this week's episode in your ears as it's cheaper than therapy. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

This week's sketch for #TheSkewer flying towards the team. A case of initial idea taking a massive left-turn once I started work.

My credit on #TheSkewer finally gives me the 'S' on the @britishcomedy.bsky.social 'BDNS' with a credit also on DM's Are Open, Noising Up, and Breaking The News. When I last looked, there were 12 others in that club, I feel in very honoured company. #WritingCommunity

That whooshing sound is my sketch flying towards this week's episode of #TheSkewer.
And that crinkling sound is it going in the wastepaper basket.

So we made the first episode of #TheSkewer 6 years ago. And now, 14 Series, numerous radio awards (we’ve seriously lost count) and a BAFTA nomination (yeah I know it’s not even TV!) later, you can hear every single episode on @bbcsounds, including this week’s. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
