Fantastical comedic look at entertaining apocalypses on parallel Earths. Starring David Soul and Simon Day. From 2010.
We all worry about the end of the world, as economists and environmentalists speak in apocalyptic terms everyday.
iGOD says that trying to predict the end of the world is as pointless as moisturising an elephant's elbow.
Late-night comedy narrated by David Soul.
Starring:
Simon Day
Rosie Cavaliero
Felix Dexter
Alex Macqueen
Dan Tetsell
Written by Sean Gray - one of the head writers of the BAFTA award-winning The Thick Of It.
In each episode, an unnamed, all-seeing narrator shows us that it is stupid to be worrying, as he looks back at some of the most entertaining apocalypses on parallel Earths.
Each week our case study is a normal bloke called Ian who manages to accidentally initiate the apocalypse of a different parallel world through a seemingly harmless single act (telling a lie, being lazy, cooking some lamb shanks).
A succession of comic vignettes ensue that escalate to the end of a parallel world.
Producer: Simon Nicholls
First broadcast on 麻豆社 Radio 4 in December 2010.
