Logo for Radio 2's Comedy Showcase - No Angel

Ricky Tomlinson and Martine McCutcheon star in new sitcom for Radio 2. The all-star cast also sees Clive Anderson playing an egomaniac chat show host, while Andy Parsons appears as a policeman. And fresh from hit comedy series, The Inbetweeners, Emily Head takes her first radio role. When Ricky's scruffy Scouser, Leo, accosts Martine's careerist radio producer, Katherine, in the street, sparks fly. Convinced she's being stalked, Katherine just can't shake him. And she doesn't get any sympathy from Clive Anderson's character Scott, who wants know; "why don't I have a stalker? I'm the star!" But how does Leo know so much about Katherine? Is there more to this hairy old feller than meets the eye? And will Scott's crazy scheme for beating the traffic come off, or just land him in jail? This character-led comedy is written by Andy Lynch whose credits include BBC 1's The Street and it's directed by Dirk Maggs. No Angel is part of Radio 2's ongoing Comedy Showcase series, which has featured a diverse array of talent including Mathew Horne, Tim Minchin and Richard Wilson.
