Episode 1 of 4

Ben and Alex record their latest series from their flat and are glad of the new-found 'creative freedom'. From 2019.

Comedy from Ben and Alex, aka "The Pin", in a sketch-sitcom hybrid.

The award-winning sketch duo are forced to record their latest series in their flat and the boys are glad of the new creative freedom this opportunity presents, away from the "prying eyes of the 麻豆社".

Unfortunately, this proves to be short-lived, thanks to numerous intrusions from the boys' unlucky neighbour Maria, Ben's mother and an AirBnB lodger who's in town for a stag party.

Written and performed by Alex Owen and Ben Ashenden

With:

Pippa Haywood
Celeste Dring
Ed Easton
Jason Forbes
James McNicholas

Producer: Sam Michell

A 麻豆社 Studios production for 麻豆社 Radio 4, first broadcast in July 2019.
