An author takes drastic measures to improve sales and we discover the truth about a celebrity. With Simon Kane. From 2017.

Another tip Behind Closed Doors; a famous author takes drastic measures to improve his sales; and discover what a certain celebrity is really like.

John Finnemore, writer and star of Cabin Pressure and John Finnemore's Double Acts and regular guest on The Now Show and The Unbelievable Truth, returns for a sixth series of his multi-award-winning series.

John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme was described by The Radio Times as "the best sketch show in years, on television or radio", and by The Daily Telegraph as "funny enough to make even the surliest cat laugh". Already the winner of a BBC Audio Drama Award and a Radio Academy Silver Award, John was named the 2016 Radio Broadcaster of the Year by the Broadcasting Press Guild for his work on Souvenir Programme.

Written by and starring John Finnemore.
