Friday Night Comedy from BBC Radio 4 - The Naked Week: Ep1. Royal lodges, asylum hotels and witches.

Download The Naked Week: Ep1. Royal lodges, asylum hotels and witches.

This week we provide recourse for a randy royal, organise an on-air riot and, for Halloween, get confused over which witch is which.

From host Andrew Hunter Murray and The Skewer's Jon Holmes, Radio 4’s newest Friday night comedy The Naked Week returns with a blend of the silly and serious. From satirical stunts to studio set pieces via guest correspondents and investigative journalism it's a bold, audacious take not only on the week’s news, but also the way it’s packaged and presented.
