2008  (BBC Radio 4)
Episodes:

Starring:
Marcus Brigstocke
Production:
British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC)

I've Never Seen Star Wars is a Radio 4 entertainment series in which Marcus Brigstocke asks his guests to embrace ordinary activities and experiences that they've perhaps always meant to try but haven't had the time, the courage or possibly the inclination.

The challenges that the guests undertook included drinking absinthe (Phill Jupitus); buying a pornographic magazine from a shop (Tim Brook Taylor); constructing some flat-pack furniture (Mark Steel) and swimming (Paul Daniels).

Our Review: An entertaining enough comedy format - but that would work much, much better if it were on the TV... listening to Paul Daniels floundering in a swimming pool isn't the same as seeing him sinking. Actually, on second thoughts, perhaps seeing Phill Jupitus undergoing a colonic irrigation would be a bit much!

A second series has been commissioned. The guests will include Barry Cryer and Arthur Smith.
