Magic

Episode 2 of 4

Ben and Alex are recording their sketch show in their flat but they are distracted by a disappearing magician. From 2019.

Comedy from Ben and Alex, aka "The Pin", in a sketch-sitcom hybrid.

The award-winning sketch duo are forced to record their latest series in their flat and the boys are glad of the new creative freedom this opportunity presents, away from the "prying eyes of the BBC". Unfortunately, their creative freedom is short-lived, thanks to numerous intrusions from the boys' unlucky neighbour Maria, Ben's restaurant-reviewing mother and a disappearing magician.

Written and performed by Alex Owen and Ben Ashenden.

A BBC Studios Production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in July 2019.
