Thank you to our wonderful, warm and hearty Radio Theatre audience for the first #DeadRingers episode of the new series.. Catch us tonight on @BBCRadio4 at 6.30 and on @BBCSounds afterwards! US Election episode next week!
Today's #breakingthenews is the last in the series, and I was Lead Writer. Both reasons for people to weep. Sorry.

Gregor Paton, newly appointed Secretary of State for Refusing To Take These Things Seriously, has been awake for the last 48 hours writing things to make us all snigger, so get listening.
Remember the Breaking the News Election Special is on BBC Radio Scotland at 11:30am today.
It's going to be a cracker. Great guests joining Des to make sense of the madness, and I had the pleasure of being Lead Writer

Stayed up late on a school night for this. Anyone who also grew up in the sticks will love it!
