Andy Zaltzman and Helen Keen - T0541870703Andy Zaltzman - Andy Zaltzman, half of the global smash hit topical podcast The Bugle, alongside John Oliver, addresses issues including The World, and associated matters, in his first DVD recording. A renowned satirist and liar, Zaltzman - star of 5 Live's 7 Day Sunday, its one-day-earlier-in-the-week sibling 7 Day Saturday, sundry stuff on Radio 4, and bafflingly/rightly infrequent TV appearances (delete according to taste) - has performed stand-up in all of the planet's leading hemispheres, and four of its top-ranked continents. Helen Keen's It Is Rocket Science! - Helen Keen's It Is Rocket Science! is a low budget, highly original look at the history and future of space travel. Factually accurate and funny - featuring all the enormity of the universe, without any of the boring bits! With Space Nazis! Satanists! And Aeronautical Engineers! 'It Is Rocket Science!' will take you on a whistlestop tour around the Great Brains who put monkeys, ladies, dogs and gentlemen into orbit. This live show has so far launched three award-winning, critically acclaimed series for BBC Radio 4. | |
