Do Gooders Returns This Week

Do Gooders Returns This Week

Award-winning comedian Garrett Millerick’s workplace sitcom, Do Gooders, returns for a second six-part series, airing from Wednesday 3rd September at 6.30pm on BBC Radio 4.

 

This series takes us back behind the curtain of fictional mid-level charity, The Alzheimers Alliance, as the fundraising events team continue their daily struggle for survival. The challenges are bigger than ever – funding cuts, tax increases and the ever-dwindling attention span of the TikTok generation. Cue more office feuds, more workplace romances and more catastrophic fundraising blunders – all par for the course when trying to ‘do good’ on an industrial scale.

 

The first series of Do Gooders was shortlisted for two BBC Audio Drama Awards 2025 for Best Sitcom and Best Comedy Performance. It was a critic’s choice in the Radio Times, The Sunday Times, The Observer, The Telegraph, Daily Mail and Chortle, and listed alongside Hancock’s Half Hour and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in The Independent’s run down of ‘The 27 best radio comedies ever’. Starring alongside Garrett, the returning cast includes Fay Ripley (Cold Feet), Frank Skinner, 2023 Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Ahir Shah, and Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Ania Magliano, with Kathryn Drysdale (Bridgerton) joining the cast.

 

Do Gooders is an Avalon production. Executive Producers are Richard Allen-Turner, Daisy Knight, Julien Matthews and Jon Thoday. Editor and Sound Engineer is David Thomas. The Producer is Jules Lom and the Commissioning Editor for BBC Radio 4 is Julia McKenzie.

 

Do Gooders Series 2 first airs on Wednesday 3rd September at 6.30pm on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds
