Tim Key

Tim Key returns with more comic chaos, musically supported by Tom Basden 
 
Award-winning comedian Tim Key is back with three more series of his peculiar poetry programme. Having presented the show from a houseboat, a space simulator and the top of the Shard, he now ventures even further afield in his increasingly ineffective attempts to understand life through the medium of verse. 
 
In these 12 episodes, he finds himself stuck in a cable car high above the Norwegian fjords, making a movie in Rome, stranded in an Austrian cave network with the water rising, and broadcasting live from the labour ward where Megan is having a baby. He also prepares to make his TV debut, gets in trouble with Customs at Stansted Airport, heads out on safari (in Woburn) and hits the road in an Americana special... 
 
Accompanying him on his adventures are regulars Tom Basden and Katy Wix, and guest stars including Miles Jupp, Bridget Christie, Stephen Merchant, Lolly Adefope, Mike Wozniak, Sam Campbell and Morgana Robinson. 
 
‘His sentences never end where you expect them to and the oddly appealing atmosphere he creates is so spellbinding, it's like emerging from a nice fog when he spits you out at the other end.’ Julia Raeside, The Guardian

A BBC Radio Comedy Collection

Alfred Tennyson

A definitive collection of Tennyson&rsquo;s finest worksAlfred Lord Tennyson is one of Britain&rsquo;s greatest and most popular poets. Even during his lifetime, he was considered a national institution: Queen Victoria appointed him Poet Laureate in 1850, a position he held for 42 years, and in 1884 he became the first writer to be granted a baronetcy. In a long and fruitful career, he penned numerous classic works, and this BBC Radio collection showcases some of the very best.We begin with two of his masterpieces, dramatised by award-winning poet Michael Symmons Roberts. The Idylls of the King is an extraordinary epic poem that infuses the legend of King Arthur with a passionate intensity. Told here in five acts, it stars Tim Pigott-Smith. Considered one of the finest elegies, In Memoriam was written in response to the sudden death of his friend Arthur Hallam. This drama weaves the peerless poem into the story behind it, and stars Holliday Grainger, James Cooney and Ashley Margolis.Crossing the Bar plunges us into Tennyson&rsquo;s stirring sea-narratives, with sea-songs performed by a cappella trio Coope, Boyes and Simpson. It includes the poems &lsquo;The Kraken&rsquo;, &lsquo;The Sea Fairies&rsquo;, &lsquo;Enoch Arden&rsquo;, &lsquo;The Voyage of Maeldune&rsquo; and &lsquo;Crossing the Bar&rsquo; - read by John Dougall, Rachel Bavidge, Sam Dale, Jasmine Callan, Stuart McLoughlin and Joseph Kloska. 
 In Maud, Tennyson&rsquo;s dark, lyrical verses tell of a disturbed young man roaming the windswept hills, madly in love and haunted by loss. Dramatised for radio in 1969, Harold brings to life the story of England&rsquo;s last Anglo-Saxon King, starring Gabriel Woolf.Next up are readings of Tennyson&rsquo;s best-loved poems, including seven written in the language of his native Lincolnshire and introduced by his great-grandson Hallam Tennyson. &lsquo;Aylmer&rsquo;s Field&rsquo;, his Victorian version of the Romeo and Juliet story, is read by Andrew Sachs; while Peggy Ashcroft reads his celebrated lyrical ballad &lsquo;The Lady of Shalott&rsquo;. &lsquo;The Lotos-Eaters&rsquo;, inspired by the tale of Odysseus and his mariners, is read by Sir John Gielgud. &lsquo;The Northern Farmer&rsquo;, &lsquo;The Parson&rsquo;s Daughter&rsquo;, &lsquo;The Church Warden and the Curate&rsquo;, &lsquo;Owd Roa,&rsquo; &lsquo;The Village Wife&rsquo;, &lsquo;The Northern Cobbler&rsquo; and &lsquo;The Spinster&rsquo;s Sweet-Arts&rsquo; are read by Edward Campion and Mary Wimbush. Lastly, &lsquo;The Charge of the Light Brigade&rsquo; is read by Alfred Badel, and &lsquo;The Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington&rsquo;, read by the poet's grandson Sir Charles Tennyson.We conclude with a pair of fascinating documentaries exploring the poet&rsquo;s life and work. Searching for Alfred in the Shadow of Tennyson sees Ruth Padel investigating the man behind the image, while In Our Time: Tennyson&rsquo;s In Memoriam finds Melvyn Bragg discussing the poet&rsquo;s moving meditation on love and death.First published 1830 (&lsquo;The Kraken&rsquo;, &lsquo;The Sea-Fairies), 1832 (&lsquo;The Lady of Shalott&rsquo;, &lsquo;The Lotos-Eaters&rsquo;), 1833 (&lsquo;Fatima&rsquo;), 1850 (&lsquo;In Memoriam&rsquo;), 1852 (&lsquo;Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington&rsquo;), 1854 (&lsquo;The Charge of the Light Brigade&rsquo;), 1855 (&lsquo;Maud&rsquo;), 1859-1885 (Idylls of the King), 1864 (&lsquo;Enoch Arden&rsquo;, &lsquo;The Northern Farmer&rsquo;), 1876 (Harold), 1880 (&lsquo;The Voyage of Maeldune&rsquo;, &lsquo;The Village Wife&rsquo;, &lsquo;The Northern Cobbler&rsquo;), 1885 (&lsquo;The Spinster&rsquo;s Sweet-Arts&rsquo;), 1889 (&lsquo;Crossing the Bar&rsquo;, &lsquo;Owd Roa&rsquo;), 1891 (Alymer&rsquo;s Field), 1892 (&lsquo;The Church-Warden and the Curate&rsquo;)&copy; 2024 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd.

A BBC Radio Collection

Ever wondered just how much of life you can understand through poetry? 
 
Tim Key is never far from stage and screen - from Peep Show to Alpha Papa to Taskmaster. But now he's back doing what he does best - attempting to recite poetry whilst tormenting his friend and musician, the equally brilliant, and long suffering, Tom Basden. 
 
From ruminating on the meaning of family via his narrative poem The Godfather, attempting to get to the bottom of death via his poem The Boy Who Faked His Own Death, and also organising an impromptu stag party, Tim Key uses poetry to help him understand every situation. 
 
'In any other sphere apart from comedy, we'd probably class this way of looking at the world as certifiable. Here it feels like genius.' The Telegraph 
 
"The show... has a kind of artistry and strange beauty that makes it unlike any other hour of stand-up you are likely to see." The Observer 
 
'...You never know when Key will suddenly toss you a fantastic joke or startlingly well-constructed line.' Radio Times

Robert Browning

BBC Radio dramatisations and readings of Browning’s most famous poems, performed by stars including Anton Lesser, Roger Allam and David Tennant, plus two bonus plays 
 
Victorian poet Robert Browning was renowned for his evocative dramatic monologues peopled with vivid, morally ambiguous characters. In 1846, he eloped with fellow poet Elizabeth Barrett, and they rapidly became Britain’s most famous literary power couple. This collection brings together four of Browning’s poetic masterpieces, juxtaposed with a play inspired by his work and a drama about Robert and Elizabeth’s romance. 
 
The Ring and the Book – In the aftermath of a triple stabbing, Rome is rife with speculation. Accused of murdering his young wife and her parents, Count Guido Franceschini is put on trial, and finds himself desperately fighting for his life. Anton Lesser, Roger Allam and Andrew Sachs star in this thrilling tale of of sex, lies, murder and justice. 
 
The Pied Piper of Hamlin – When a town fails to pay the rat-catcher who has lured all the rats away with his magic pipe, the piper takes a terrible revenge. Playing his music once more, he leads all the children from the town. Only one boy remains behind… David Tennant stars as the Narrator, with Bertie Gilbert as the boy. 
 
My Last Duchess – Based on Browning’s chilling poem about an aristocrat whose wife died young in suspicious circumstances, this intriguing dramatisation attempts to solve the mystery of what happened to the duchess, and who did the deed. Starring Roger Allam, Emily Mortimer and Tim McInnerny. 
 
Andrea del Sarto – Richard Pasco reads Robert Browning's monologue about the 16th-century Florentine artist known as ‘the faultless painter’, whose marriage was the source of deep unhappiness. 
 
The Contemplative Life – Brother James's loathing of oafish Brother Lawrence has led him to petty acts of destruction. As a punishment, he is forced to share a cell with him… Alan Rickman and Michael Aldridge star in this comedy inspired by Browning’s poem ‘Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister’. 
 
The Barretts of Wimpole Street – Starring Dorothy Tutin and Jeremy Brett, this radio version of Rudolf Besier’s celebrated stage play explores the secret courtship of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning, which took place at No 50 Wimpole Street, her father’s forbidding household. 
 
First published 1842 (‘The Pied Piper of Hamelin’, ‘My Last Duchess’), 1855 (‘Andrea del Sarto’), 1868 (‘The Ring and the Book’)
