Summary

Comedian Glenn Moore looks in his almanac at major world events and what he was doing at the time. In this episode, a Royal Wedding is the backdrop to a massive crisis in Glenn’s own love life. Perhaps best-known for his outrageously brilliant one-liners on Mock The Week , Glenn delivers a tale of comic mishaps and extraordinary scenes interwoven with a big event in history – and looks back through his almanac to find out other strange connections to the day as well. Written by Glenn with additional material by Katie Storey (Have I Got News For You, Mock The Week, The Last Leg) and produced and directed by David Tyler (Cabin Pressure,“Armando Iannucci’s Charm Offensive, and many more). A Pozzitive production for BBC Radio 4
