ON THE BLOG is a ground-breaking comedy show for BBC Radio 2, starring Caroline
Quentin (Men Behaving Badly) Simon Greenall (I’m Alan
Partridge) and Andy Taylor (Harry Enfield’s Television Programme) and
directed by Dirk Maggs (Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy) with
a script edited by John Langdon (Bremner, Bird & Fortune).
ON THE BLOG is a comedy show about blogging, the internet and our relationship
with computers. Based on the blog of Andrew Glasgow, a military war-gaming
enthusiast and avid painter of miniature figurines, it’s part sitcom,
part satire of the increasing hold the online world has on our everyday
lives. It’s Adrian Mole’s Diary meets On The Hour for
the myspace generation.
