A BBC Radio 4 Comedy

Glenn Moore’s Almanac

Comedian Glenn Moore takes a look back though his almanac at major world events 
 
Perhaps best-known for his outrageously brilliant one-liners on Mock the Week, comedian Glenn Moore delivers a tale of comic mishaps in this BBC radio comedy series. 
 
Looking back through his almanac at a big event in history, Glenn finds out what he was doing at the time and looks into other strange connections to the day in question. Sit back and listen as Glenn interweaves extraordinary scenes from his life with a big event in history. 
 
In the first show, a Royal Wedding is the backdrop to a massive crisis in Glenn&rsquo;s love life. 
 
In episode two, the 2015 General Election inspires Glenn to stand in his school&rsquo;s own mock election as the candidate with the most unlikely set of policies ever... 
 
In the third programme, as one astronaut touches down from the International Space Station, Glenn decides to become Britain&rsquo;s next space explorer. 
 
And as the new Millennium dawns, in the series finale Glenn has the most catastrophic New Year&rsquo;s Eve ever.

Comedian Glenn Moore takes another look through his almanac at major world events and what he was doing at the time. Perhaps best-known for his outrageously brilliant one-liners on Mock The Week, Glenn delivers a tale of comic mishaps and extraordinary scenes interwoven with a big event in history – and looks back through his almanac to find out other strange connections to the day as well. 
 
In episode one, a deadly spy operation causes him to suspect his innocent Russian flatmate… 
 
In the second episode, a shocking case of wrongful arrest as Glenn Moore is mistaken for... Glenn Moore! 
 
In episode three, it’s lockdown 2020 - can father-to-be Glenn learn how to use a mask and change a nappy - and crucially, tell which is which? 
 
And in the series finale, Glenn is running the London Marathon - with his fridge strapped to someone else’s back…
