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.
