Episode 2
Deborah's bedtime story from 1962 and a catch up zoom in lockdown. With Lawry Lewin and Simon Kane. From 2021.
With no live studio audience, John Finnemore took the opportunity to try something completely new.
Every episode in this series of Souvenir Programme is made up of scenes from one person's life, played in reverse order.
There's no narrative to the episode; it's still a sketch show, not a sitcom... but the sketches in each episode all happened to one person, played by one member of the cast, over the course of their lifetime.
This episode is all about Deborah, and takes place between a catchup Zoom in lockdown one, and a bedtime story she was told in 1962.
Written and performed by John Finnemore
