Arthur Smith's Last Hangover


Writer and comedian Arthur Smith brings a comedy anniversary with a difference to BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday 10 December at 11.00pm.


A year ago, Arthur Smith was admitted to hospital with an alcohol-related illness that nearly killed him.


He subsequently gave up drinking and entered the unfamiliar new world of the chronically sober.


"Me? Give up drinking? That's like asking Nigella to give up baking…"


In this special one-off programme Arthur, with the assistance of comedienne and actress Caroline Quentin, takes a wry look back at his past year of sobriety.


Amongst the topics that Arthur covers are elderflower presse, the existence of that part of the day known as "the morning" and the rediscovery of temptation…


Arthur Smith's Last Hangover is on BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday 10 December at 11.00pm.
