PILOT2019102420231231 (BBC7)Wander through the rickety side garden gate of reality, that leads round to the seeping miasma of nightmares we call - The Nether Regions. A place where the laws of physics and even time itself take a day off, put their feet up and watch daytime television in their underpants.

This is our world today, though not quite the today we know. A different today. But almost the same. Only not.

Your guides through this madness - Rob Grant and Andrew Marshall, together with young performers, new to radio, but familiar to the Job Centre.

Gaze now into the swirling vortex that's just appeared before you, courtesy of the Radio 4 Cheap Optical Effects department, and see some sketches from another dimension.

Visit Mrs Amazon's Corner Grocery Shop. From before the internet.

Come with us to a land where nobody wears any underwear, even though it's permanently winter. No, not Newcastle, it's Throne of Forks.

Take a dizzying journey through Nether Regions' speedy box sets and enjoy the entire series of The Crown in 90 seconds.

Meet the tortured souls who are addicted to being Alan Bennett.

These and other mind-munching experiences await the unwary listener. Make sure you book a return ticket.

Studio Engineered and Edited by Jerry Peal

010120220106Creators of the hit Radio 4 Sci Fi comedy Quanderhorn, Rob Grant (Son of Clich退, Spitting Image, Red Dwarf) and Andrew Marshall (Burkiss Way, Whoops Apocalypse, 2point4children) invite you back for a deeper glimpse into the steaming primordial swamps of their hideously contorted imaginations, known only as The Nether Regions.

Trapped with them in the dank basements of their fetid minds are sparkling young talents Helen Cripps, Edward Rowett and Holly Morgan.

The Nether Regions is our dystopian present - it's now, but not now, and then, but now. Not.

Past, present and future merge into one writhing tortured tangle, where the Naked Truth climbs out of the window, because Fake News has come home unexpectedly early.

Continuing the mirth, mayhem and something else beginning with M of the highly acclaimed pilot show. Scream in terror. Then listen to the show. Then scream in terror again, as you witness:

Germany's most efficient fast food sausage establishment

The recently rediscovered classic, Jane Austen's Love Island

Thinking dogs for the stupid

The tortured souls who are addicted to being Alan Bennett.

These and other mind-munching experiences await the unwary listener. Make sure you book a return ticket.

And a valuable boiled sweet.
