It starts in Egypt, but how does it end? With The Big Muddler, you can never be sure where you’re going. This edition – THE FIRST EVER EPISODE – heads down the beach with resident soap opera Great Crustaceans. Twice we cross to America to catch up with some entitled Brits. There’s a spooky story from Kathmandu, and several visits to Muddler Live – a land whose people love to laugh and sing. Your tour guide is Matthew Crampton, with guests poet Elvis McGonagall and pianist Dorian Ford. Enjoy the Variety!

There'll be five more episodes in Series One. Want to catch this High Grade Nonsense as soon as it arrives? Then follow The Big Muddler on the service of your choice (Apple, Spotify, Youtube etc).

With thanks to Dorian Ford, Elvis McGonagall and Todd Landor.
