The cult spoof show set in a fictional newsroom

An effervescent mix of satire and sketches, The Way It Is ran for seven series on BBC Radio 4 between 1998 and 2002. Performed by Sanjeev Bhaskar, Simon Evans, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Fiona Allen, Dave Lamb, Chris Pavlo, Laura Shavin and Phil Cornwell, it takes a long, hard look at the worlds of media and politics, parodying journalists, MPs and celebrities alike.

Newscasters Richard Richard and Lolly Swain bring us round-the-clock headlines and rolling news, aided by a host of enthusiastic, if somewhat inept, roving reporters. Among them are showbiz hackette Jackie Trent (who tirelessly ferrets out celebrity secrets), on-the-ground correspondent James Gravadlax (who witnesses ‘scenes of terrible devastation’ wherever he goes), hapless traffic correspondent Charlotte Webb and excitable but clueless weatherman Martin ‘Twice-Knightly’.

Together, they skip nimbly through the big stories of the nineties and noughties – from leadership battles to Cabinet reshuffles, trade wars, Posh and Becks and the perennial problems of England’s cricket and football teams.

This long-running cult classic comedy will appeal to fans of Dead Ringers, Week Ending, Have I Got News for You and On the Hour,

NB: Contains strong language and humour of the time that some listeners may find offensive.

With thanks to Keith Wickham of the Radio Circle for supplying the audio recordings.
