Sunday Afternoon at Home With Tim Key - Radio 4 Extra, 26th January.

The comedian, poet and time waster Tim Key invites you to his flat for a special look at the influence of boredom on comedy. Beginning with the ground-breaking Hancock's Half Hour episode Sunday Afternoon at Home, Tim will then bring you comedy from Sean Lock, Peter Cook, The Likely Lads and The Mighty Boosh.

Along the way Tim will have an interview with the Hancock writers Galton & Simpson, he will perform some previously unheard Hancock dialogue, he will be interrupted by Jonny Sweet, someone will have a bath, and there might even be some flapjacks.

So sit back, stifle that yawn and enjoy three hours of comedy with Tim Key that proves how 'boredom is a fertile place for comedy to thrive'.
