The Naked Week: Ep 3. Prisons, Syria, and Kemi's Catchphrase | Friday Night Comedy from BBC Radio 4

The news this week has been wild, warped, and utterly incomprehensible — so naturally The Naked Week is here to strip it all down. 📰🫣🔥

In Episode 3, the team tries to understand how rebels managed to take Syria that quickly, while a military strategist helps them apply the same tactics to capture the mighty stronghold of… Nuneaton.

Meanwhile, Rupert the Jorkiepoo offers his unique — and surprisingly effective — solution to the UK’s prison overcrowding crisis.

Hosted by Andrew Hunter Murray and chief correspondent Amy Hoggart, The Naked Week continues its mission of undressing the week’s biggest stories, exposing how the news is packaged, spun, and occasionally dropped on the floor entirely.

Created by Jon Holmes (The Skewer), this is topical satire at its boldest, weirdest, and most cheerfully shameless — delivered live, loud, and fully unclothed.

🎙️ This Episode Brings You:

• Syria explained… sort of
• Nuneaton military strategy nobody asked for
• A Jorkiepoo with prison policy ideas
• Kemi Badenoch’s new favourite catchphrase
• Satire so naked it needs a warning label
