With no live studio audience, John Finnemore took the opportunity to try something completely new. Every episode in this series of Souvenir Programme is made up of scenes from one person's life, played in reverse order. There's no narrative to the episode; it's still a sketch show, not a sitcom... but the sketches in each episode all happened to one person, played by one member of the cast, over the course of their lifetime. For this final episode, we jump between the lives of those five characters - Russ, Deborah, Jerry, Vanessa and Newt - and jump back and forth in time. Written and performed by John Finnemore. Newt ... John Finnemore Russ ... Lawry Lewin Deborah ... Margaret Cabourn-Smith Jerry ... Simon Kane Vanessa ... Carrie Quinlan Other parts played by the cast. Original music composed by Susannah Pearse Original music performed by Susannah Pearse and Sally Stares Recorded and edited by Rich Evans at Syncbox Post Producer: Ed Morrish A Â鶹Éç Studios production for Â鶹Éç Radio 4, first broadcast in June 2021.
