Was going great guns on The Football Special. Dead now.
Ha ha - not yet! I had just found The Football Special this season and got on a good run so in a similar boat to you - a real shame.

- Build up lots of writing credits/get involved in a podcast
- Networking with the above to refer to...
- ...results in someone seeing something I wrote that they really like
- Write more stuff they really like
- Name plus a bit more new stuff gets put forward to production team
- Invited to send stuff to showSo the "usual" way really!
Aren't you being a bit coy here?
What we really want to know is - was the key moment when you got Lewis to voice an episode of Kirrin Island, or does that get the cause/effect relation the wrong way round?
My Wife went up to him in a pub after Newsjack & told him all about Kirrin Island, and invited one of his voice performer friends aboard.

Knowing Steve's wife and having a podcast is indeed the secret to comedy success. There needed to be stuff in existence beforehand, including a podcast, and new stuff written afterwards that was as good, and the other things I mentioned.

She's come a long way since mistaking a producer for a waitress.
This is back today for a Commonwealth Games special: 1.30pm on BBC Radio Scotland.
