The third series of Chris Neill's comedy Woof: Honest Mistakes At Home And Abroad returns to Radio 4 and BBC Sounds on Wednesday 19th August at 11pm.

 

In the latest four-part series, co-starring Martin Hyder and Isy Suttie, Neill is all over parakeets, a potential diabetes diagnosis, the awfulness of parties, and a mysterious death in Hamburg. Having been recorded back in January, the sound of a live audience can be enjoyed too. 

 

The press, meanwhile, has been all over Neill's previous series. The Times said: "Less like stand-up than an audio version of the films of Wes Anderson. Blissfully well written, Neill may be first and foremost a comedian, but his observations are as acute as any novelist’s. Sweet, sharp and very funny.” 

The Observer wrote: “Like a rapid-fire English David Sedaris, every word is perfectly chosen and perfectly used; actually, he has something of Alan Bennett, too. Uplifting stuff.” 

And The Radio Times added: “The distinctive talent that established him as a stand-up ... his stories, with outrageous asides, sound true. Maybe they are? The audience sounds genuinely delighted by Neill’s observations.”
