Imitation is the highest form of flattery. There are now a few shows in the Northeast promoting local talent which can only be a good thing.

The Fairly Truthful Guide to Geordie
A documentary based on Gary’s book of the same name. A lot of research went into writing the book but just as much work went into editing it down and making it into a radio programme. Radio Tyneside entered us for the Best Speech Package category at the National Hospital Broadcasting Awards 2015. And we won Gold!
The Judges said:
"This is simple radio, but beautifully done. Excellently told and good use of sound effects. Outstanding. Very impressive editing, sound scaping and humour. Loved the knowledge, and particularly liked the subversion of Casablanca. Brilliantly executed."

A comedy drama written by Gary & Karis and performed by them and a lot of the guests and contributors we’ve had on the show during the year. It was a lot of fun getting people to record the odd line or two. For instance, our Geordie Hour Live compere Dave Normanton provided the voice for Long John Silver. BBC Musician of the Year Tom McConville played the part of Hoo Man You the Chinese takeaway owner. Lucy Falkenau from Geordie Hour favourites The Attic Band played the part of a nurse.

"The judges felt this raised a smile, indeed more than a smile, it made them laugh out loud. Comedy can be difficult – comedy in hospital even more so but this entry hit the spot. A very entertaining, well thought out, production."
