More stuff from us on Dead Ringers this week!
Stephen Mawhinnney@sjmawhinney.bsky.social · 4mo agoHere's this week's episode of Dead Ringers and pleased to say we were responsible for 2 sketches in there - Tuchel's World Cup and To Catch A Beach. (Are you spotting a pattern?) www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
Two more sketches on this week's 'Dead Ringers', if you like that kind of thing.
Stephen Mawhinnney@sjmawhinney.bsky.social · 4mo agoAnd we didn't just write for one show today but two. Catch a couple of our sketches on tonight's excellent episode of Dead Ringers here. (Ours were Tuchel and the World Cup, naturally, and our new favourite podcast To Catch A King). www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
Everybody with #Curacao in the work sweepstake just perked up more than they have since the draw! #WorldCup2026
A couple of things in the first ep of the new series of 'Dead Ringers' for us.
Stephen Mawhinnney@sjmawhinney.bsky.social · 4mo agoThrilled to have contributed to this excellent opening episode of the new series of Dead Ringers. You'll have a stay to end to hear the bits we were involved in but enjoy To Catch A Hire Car and Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe bursting into song. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
If someone had told you a Polish woman and an Italian man were in the #RolandGarros finals, you'd have bet your house on Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner #FrenchOpen
In case you missed it here's the last episode of the current series of #TheSkewer. And we do our best to make sure Ukraine still gets mentioned. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
