Drawing on his own family, the fourth series of Richard Herring’s popular comedy drama, Relativity, is set to return to Radio 4 this September. The comedy drama builds on warm, lively characters and sharply observed family dynamics of inter generational misunderstanding, sibling sparring and the ties that bind.

With a cast including Alison Steadman, Phil Davis and Richard Herring, amidst the comedy, Richard broaches some more serious highs and lows of family life. In this series, set during the first year of lockdown, he draws on his own experience of testicular cancer at that time, as well as the comedic escapades of the 4 generations of the Snell family. Love, laughter and malapropisms abound.

Richard Herring is a comedian, writer, blogger and podcaster and the world's premier semi-professional self-playing snooker player.                                                                                                                                                               

Written by Richard Herring, Relativity is an Avalon production for BBC Radio 4. Executive Producers are Jon Thoday and Richard Allen-Turner for Avalon.  Series four was directed by Polly Thomas, produced by Daisy Knight with sound design by Eloise Whitmore.

The fourth series of Relativity first airs on Friday 2nd September, from 11.30am to 12.00pm on BBC Radio 4 and on BBC Sounds.
