Perma-fuming
reporter Jonathan Pie is back with a new series of his hit podcast Call
Jonathan Pie on BBC Sounds, commissioned by BBC Radio 4 – which sees him in
dire straits as he struggles to deal with the unexpected success of his radio
phone-in show.
Two years
after the launch of Pie’s radio phone-in show, the cracks are beginning to show
as he and his colleagues struggle to find any enthusiasm in their respective
jobs. Pie wants out – or at least the occasional duvet day. His producer Jules
feels as unappreciated as ever and is “mulling her options”, senior editor
Roger is eyeing retirement and easy-going sound engineer Sam has started taking
dating tips from Andrew Tate. All of them are desperate for change and with the
future of the planet, peace in Europe and more importantly the BBC licence fee
no longer certain, could this be the end of the line for Call Jonathan Pie?
The first
four episodes of series two are coming to BBC Sounds on Friday 28th March, with
the first Radio 4 TX on Saturday 29th March at 23:00. The second set of four
episodes will be released on Sounds on 25th April.
Writer and
comedian Tom Walker first created Jonathan Pie in 2016. Since then the angry
character has become a huge online success with millions of fans across
Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. Call Jonathan Pie has been one of the
BBC’s most popular new comedy podcasts, recently winning Best Radio Sitcom in
the Comedy.co.uk awards.
Jonathan Pie
is written and performed by Tom Walker, with Lucy Pearman, Aqib Khan, and Nick
Revell. It is produced by Alison Vernon-Smith, Yada Yada Productions for BBC
Radio 4 and BBC Sounds and commissioned by Julia McKenzie, Comedy and
Entertainment Commissioner, BBC Radio 4.
