'The hilarious impressionist series... scintillating writers' --- Peter Barnard, The Times
Just when you thought it was safe to listen again. Dead Ringers is back with its skewed and scary take on the world of celebrity, politics and the mass media. All human - and quite a bit of inhuman - life is here.
In this thrusting third series. Anne Robinson puts her own family through its paces to find The Weakest Child, Graham Norton presents So... Panorama!, and Simon Bates recounts A History of Britain in the style of Our Tune. Craig from Big Brother applies to join the Royal Ballet, whilst Alan Bennett shares more nostalgic memories of his surprising exploits with Thora Hird. Elsewhere. Rolf Harris enquires about his chances of winning the Turner Prize, and we dip into the full-blooded fiction which flows unbridled from Ann Widdecombe's fountain pen.
Jon Culshaw, Jan Ravens, Phil Cornwell, Kevin Connelly, Lewis Macleod and Mark Perry give us their impressions of the people we love to laugh at in these five frenetic episodes.

The audio of the million-selling book - Pete McCarthy's hilarious journey in search of his Irish roots.
McCarthy's tale of his hilarious trip around Ireland has gained thousands of fans all over the world.
Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere. To find out whether this is due to rose-coloured spectacles or to a deeper tie with the country of his ancestors, Pete sets off on a trip around Ireland and discovers that it has changed in surprising ways.
