Just when you thought it was safe to listen again, Dead Ringers is back with its skewed and scary take on the world of celebrity, politics, and the mass media. This audio contains The Archers Special, Election Special, and a collection of previously unheard material from the wickedly funny BBC Radio 4 comedy.

Reviews

The English Bill Bryson

—— Tony Wilson

The perfect pop fan's life ... effortlessly articulate

—— The Times

Stuart Maconie is the best thing to come out of Wigan since the A58 to Bolton

—— Peter Kay

An heir to Alan Bennett ... stirring and rather wonderful

—— Antony Quinn , Sunday Times

If you only read one personal music odyssey, make it this one

—— GQ

Witty and wise, with more good lines than the Angel of the North

—— Hunter Davies

A working class boy who now, on air, challenges Stephen Fry's spry wit, Maconie celebrates his younger self modestly and fluently, pausing only for regular rib-ticklers

—— Mojo

Maconie makes a jovial, self-deprecating narrator. Sharp and funny

—— Guardian

Exuberantly anecdotal, witty and poignant

—— GQ
