BBC Radio is to broadcast a documentary following David Baddiel as he works on his latest stage show. 

In this episode of radio series In The Studio producer Giles Edwards, who has worked with Baddiel for several years as his radio producer, spends time with him over several weeks as he prepares for, and then debuts, a work-in-progress version of his new show, Trolls: Not The Dolls, the follow-up to his acclaimed piece My Family (Not The Sitcom).

They chat together about the development of the show and then after the comic has tried it out in front of a live audience we hear him dissect it and talk about his feelings and thoughts about it.

Starting their conversation en route to a radio recording, continuing at Baddiel’s home, and concluding backstage after his shows, we hear David Baddiel discuss what works as comedy, the mechanics of putting the show together, and why understanding internet trolls - and not just dismissing them - matters so much.

In The Studio, Tuesday, December 18, 11.30am, BBC World Service.
