Summary

Chris McCausland asks a panel of comedians to live in an audio only world, deciphering brainteaser sound cues for points and pride whilst trying not to muck about too much along the way. In this episode, contestants try to figure out what on earth is being advertised on the TV, guess what famous objects or locations children are trying to describe, and work out the age of women based solely on the sound of their voice. The competing comedians are Rhys James and Donna Preston, taking on Alasdair Beckett-King and Ria Lina. Producer: Sasha Bobak Executive Producer: Pete Strauss Production Co-ordinator: Becky Carewe-Jeffries Sound editor: Jerry Peal Theme music ‘Colour me Groovy’ by The Rich Morton Sound Recorded at the Backyard Comedy Club, Bethnal Green
