About The Series

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.

About The Series

A terrifying event has occurred, a shocking new dawn has broken in the world of Andrew Glasgow. He has been disowned by his mother. At the tender age of 39 the war-gaming blogger faces the biggest battle of his life so far. He needs to find a job...

Starring Caroline Quentin (Men Behaving Badly), Simon Greenall (I'm Alan Partridge), DeNica Fairman (An Arranged Marriage) and the brilliant Andy Taylor (Ruddy Hell It's Harry & Paul) this third series marks a departure into a whole new territory - computers in the work place.

Circular emails, time-wasting websites and illicit Face-booking all come under scrutiny as the series casts a satirical sideswipe at the way we all use new technology in the office.

All this, plus a fresh cast of characters as we're introduced to Andrew's weird and wonderful work colleagues, alongside those firm old favourites his mother, ex-girlfriend and war-gaming pals at Rorkes Drift.

Will Andrew manage to update his blog, check his emails, Facebook his friends and successfully hold down a day job...?

Will he ever be allowed back into "Mamma's bosom"?

It's hard enough having an ex-girlfriend, let alone an ex-mother.

It is written by Kris Dyer, Dave Marks and Andy Taylor and produced by Adam Bromley (Think The Unthinkable, Hut 33) with thanks to Dirk Maggs.

It is an Above The Title production for BBC Radio 2
