About this listen

Six more episodes of BBC Radio 4's multiaward-winning sketch show, written by and starring John Finnemore.

John Finnemore, writer and star of Cabin Pressure and John Finnemore's Double Acts, returns for a seventh series of his hugely acclaimed Souvenir Programme, which won him Radio Broadcaster of the Year at the 2016 Broadcasting Press Guild Awards.

Expect sketches! Expect songs! They're what made up the previous series, so it seems a pretty safe bet that that's what will be in this series as well.

Hilarious, smart British humor...

I stumbled across John Finnemore several years ago. (If you haven't heard "Cabin Pressure", please buy it - you are in for a treat!) Funny, smart humor that the family and I love to sit and listen to, whilst sipping tea and munching from our velvet bag of biscuits. Seeing that logic was outlawed in the United States around Nov 2016, this is the perfect balm to cheer our winter and world weary souls. Thank you, Arthur Shappey, from all your fans near Seattle, WA. (Home of le bear noir)

Love this show!

Always delivers. John Finnemore and crew are hilarious, reminiscent of the old radio shows my family used to listen to on tape during road trips.

Love the Souvenir Programme

I absolutely love the Souvenir Programme, and I think Series 5 is my favorite. John Finnemore uses word play, self-deprecation, and subverting expectations brilliantly. I also appreciate that, unlike a lot of other long-running comedians, John’s humor remains clever and (mostly) free of innuendo.
I highly recommend this show.

Fun listen - twice now

Enjoyable. I like John Finnemore's work. I listen to Cabin Pressure all the time because it puts me in a good mood and since I know the episodes well, I can still do other stuff and not worry about having to replay a bit to catch some words. And I still smile and laugh.

I like these short stories too. There have been some very interesting characters created since Cabin Pressure and sometimes I wonder if JF will do another longer series again.

I really enjoyed the Security Guard and Receptionist characters, and the nasty and manipulative and shallow office boss character, and the retail store with the Fairy character. It would be interesting to see another long term series using some of the best short story characters.

The voice actors are great - very talented.

getting worse

I absolutely loved the first souvenir program. but I honestly think they are getting worse. I couldn't even manage to pay attention to this one.

Some great moments

I have brought everything by Finnemore on Audible. I love cabin pressure, and am getting more and more into this. At first I was not sure, then you get used to the style, and lots of it is really laugh out loud funny. I find myself looking at things with John Finnemare voice in my head, which shows how much I like it.
