One half of comedy duo Mel and Sue, Mel Giedroyc is going solo to star in a new Radio 4 sketch comedy show Rumbunch which has been described as a ‘modern Round The Horne’.
Originally called Bun Club, Rumbunch was piloted in September and created by The Thick of It’s Justin Edwards. Now the BBC has commissioned three more episodes, which will air along with the pilot later this year.
Giedroyc, Edwards and Dave Mounfield will play an unfortunate trio of performers who just want to put on a show of sketches and musical comedy with a weekly guest. The new episodes will be recorded in the next few months and BBC Radio 4 commissioners promise that it is: “Very funny, it’s a sort of modern Round the Horne.”
We can’t wait…
