Four episodes for 2016

Radio 4 has commissioned a second series of Hal Cruttenden’s sitcom Hal.

Four half hour episodes will be recorded next year.

Hal is co-written with Dominic Holland and co-stars Gavin Webster, Dominic Frisby, Anna Crilly, Ronni Ancona and Ed Byrne, and is produced by Open Mike

The first series aired in November last year, and its ‘unashamedly middle-class’ humour praised by the Radio Times, whose reviewer Jane Anderson said: ‘I laughed out loud, several times.
