Mark Watson Makes the World Substantially Better

Award-winning comedian Mark Watson guides us through his BBC Radio 4 series about the Six Deadly Sins using sketches, songs and stand up. As a starting point in making the world a better place, Mark Watson (from TV's 'Mock the Week' and if.comedy Award winner) will free you from sin. It's a big task, but he thinks it will go really well. Mark will also teach you everything you need to know about the Six Deadly Sins (he knows it should be seven, but he's doing Greed and Gluttony together as a double bill). Using a mixture of stand-up, sketches and songs he'll guide us through six episodes featuring those terrible temptations that are Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Envy, Pride and Wrath. He'll also be on hand with some useful tips (e.g. next time you're about to lose your rag - keep it and wipe something clean). Fortunately, Mark's not alone in his quest. He's joined by assistants Tim Minchin (Perrier Best Newcomer Award winner) and Tim Key (Perrier Award nominations), who provide sketches, songs and distractions. There'll be life-changing advice too - and even if this turns out to be bad advice, it'll still have good jokes in it. So join Mark as he helps make the world not just a little bit better, but substantially better. How nice.
