"Oh, Bobby!" A Christmas Panto! (2023)
The New Music Show presents "Oh Bobby!" - BBC Radio 3's first ever Christmas pantomime!
Performed by a crack troupe of new music practitioners, including Neil Luck, Lori Lixenberg, Alwynne Pritchard and more. Taking the form of a radio play, and recorded live before a studio audience at BBC Maida Vale Studios!
"From what I could make out, the plot was something about time-travel, pumice and Bobby Davro. It had a script co-writen by CHATGPT, and a computer-generated dame called "Windows Twanky". It was weird, baffling, almost unlistenable - and therefore exactly the sort of thing that late-night Radio 3 ought to be doing." The Telegraph
