Danny Wallace: New World Order

ticket

On Friday we went to see the Radio 4 comedy show New World Order being recorded. It is by Danny Wallace and was very entertaining… and free. Before we went into the actual studio-sort-of-area we had to write a question to ask the ruler of the world. Ten or so people were selected to read their questions out, of which I was one. Goodness.

I am not going to tell you my question as it might be supposed to be highly secret. It may well not be used though as they recorded about an hour and fifteen minutes-worth (a guess) for what will, I imagine, be a half hour programme. I think my bit will be the bit that gets cut out.

Whilst blogging in about 2005 I mentioned Citizens Required, another Danny Wallace programme. Here is the video of the ‘How to Start Your Own Country’ song. It still gives me an immense sense of inner wellbeing even after all these (three) years. I hope it does the same for you.

I have added an extra category to the blog entitled ‘going out to things’. It will be a category for occasional use.

    Sorry to be pedantic, but is that an actual BBC printed notice, and is Brain Perkins any relation to the newsreader Brian with the same surname?

    The picture is of the actual ticket – number 0586. I’m also in possession of number 0585… or was it 0587?

    Yes, I don’t know whether the ‘Brain’ is deliberate. If not it is a rather splendid typo.

    The theme song does indeed leave me with an inner sense of wellbeing. I still have it as the ringtone on my old mobile, which now belongs to Mr F, so I hear it fairly frequently.
