BioON THE BLOG - Series Three.

The critically-acclaimed BBC Radio sitcom returns for a third 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, illicit face-booking, health & safety and the I.T. department 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.

The scripts are once again written by KRIS DYER, DAVE MARKS and ANDY TAYLOR.

The Series 3 producer/director is ADAM BROMLEY (Think The Unthinkable).

It is an Above The Title production for BBC Radio 2

About me:
ON THE BLOG is a BBC radio sitcom starring Caroline Quentin, Simon Greenall and Andy Taylor.

Series Three has been written and recorded and is currently scheduled to air in January 2010.

Series One was re-run from 16 April - 21 May 2009 on Thursday nights at 10.30pm on BBC Radio 2 and via the BBC iplayer.

Here's what the critics thought of Series One:

"Exquisitely cruel satirical comedy. This is original and twisted and the don't-miss comedy appointment of the week" RADIO TIMES

"On the Blog is that rare thing - a funny new radio sitcom" GUARDIAN

"This is the funniest sitcom since Ed Reardon's Week" THE SUNDAY TIMES

"Likely to strike a chord with computer-slaves everywhere" OBSERVER

"Written by Kris Dyer and Dave Marks, two of the brightest young talents around" THE TIMES

"“Caroline Quentin, plays all the female characters, including Andy's mother, a screeching Czech harpie with the sensitivity of a rhino. I never realised she was so versatile.”THE STAGE

“Andrew Glasgow… played with disturbingly nerdy accuracy by Andy Taylor” RADIO TIMES

"... has the verve that made Little Britain, The Mighty Boosh, Fifteen Storeys High, Dead Ringers and That Mitchell and Webb Sound all genuine and deserved radio hits before television paid them heaps more money and squashed the life out of the lot of them." TELEGRAPH

Radio Pick of the Week: INDEPENDENT, GUARDIAN, TIMES, SUNDAY TELEGRAPH, INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY, MAIL ON SUNDAY.

Also featured on BBC Radio 4's Pick of the Week.

Here's what the critics thought of Series Two :

"A very funny sitcom" SUNDAY TIMES

"A laugh-out-loud delight" RADIO TIMES.

Odd - "PC World" was the last in the series, and it vanished. It also seems to have vanished from the BBC Radio 2 comedy website.
What's occuring?
