Now Show - John Finnemore on the Frog and the Scorpions

[@andrewmogford]

Listening to it again it just gets better each time. Perfectly written and all the more powerful because it's logical and reasonable not a hysterical rant.

[@theemperorsfinest7297]

Mr Finnemore, I hope you read the comments on your posts because everyone agrees that you are brilliant. Thank you.

Neil Gaiman has recruited John to co-write the second series of Good Omens

[@alfje5492]

@@antonycornell6284 I was so happy when I heard this! Can't wait for season two!

[@susandurrant6357]

Always beautiful, always simple and always inspiring .... Our future national treasure

[@EBGBeee]

I'm pleased he's rarely on TV, because it means we don't have to share him so much ... yet it bothers me that he's not yet been asked to rule the universe.

[@norahherbie8537]

What a truly brilliant piece by John ' brilliant' Finnemore

[@sisterstiffticket1]

Just superb! Thank you again John.

[@YateKate]

Loved this. Righteous anger never felt so good. Or so righteous.

[@leavemebeggl5502]

listening this for the first time beautiful!

[@legorenegade]

This is....Brilliant!

[@Wipeout325]

Brilliant absolutely brilliant

[@olafurhh03]

Such a witty fellow. Just brilliant.

[@louieroberts4273]

Loving it John so brilliant

[@hlocne]

This is probably my favourite JF sketch from the now show, I just wish that he did more stuff like this. He's much funnier on this than on stuff like the unbelievable truth (not that that's not hilarious), but CP and JFSP are the best! I just wish that Radio 4 would broadcast the final episode! Anyway, very funny and I can't wait for more!

[@zoo804]

Awesome work!

[@MatthewLeathes]

the finest piece of satire I've heard in some time

[@BrokenPointeShoes]

You're always brilliant!

[@SWbloodwolf]

Love what you do and how you do it! Brilliant as always you are :D

[@andycloquet]

True Satire at its very modern best!

[@GabrielKnightz]

Brilliance gilded in humour.

[@maartjedenie]

Ooeoeh with pictures! Even better!

[@kathish]

I truly admire your ability to combine humour, logic and anger. Speaking of, perhaps you'd consider making an official video of the Legal Aid monologue? It's one of my favourites.

[@muserocks1]

I like how the first thing on the investors list is Abu Dhabi. I see what you did there.

[@alexdee6927]

genius at work ...

[@ArtichokeHunter]

Loving this, but still can't think of the scorpion and the frog without The Crying Game.

[@JeghedderThomas]

Ah, deliciously sharp satire there. Lovely.

[@Wipeout325]

Arg I didn't get tickets for the final cabin pressure episode :(

[@antonycornell6284]

Literally the hottest ticket in town

[@edposs8483]

amazing

[@josephinebennington7247]

Having just heard this in 2020, it brings to mind Grayling’s (The minister, not the fish......, if there is a difference.....) contracting with a shipping ferry company that had no ferry ships. Clearly some, maybe many, of those in government are bred from frogs.

[@OliviaDrawsBoards]

I love your writing so much! (Especially your shorts with animals. Why do you write animals so well?)

[@KazakhToon]

Alan Bennett does Vince Cable

[@gridref]

spot on.

[@josephinebennington7247]

2024…going to a billionaire Czecko scorpion now….

[@Wipeout325]

For once mr finnermore is uploading this

[@harryturner8701]

I think I need an empathy wee

[@raxacoon]

Genius!

[@SADCOCK1970]

There's an old fable about a scorpion trying to cross a creek. The scorpion comes across a frog and - BUFFERING BUFFERING BUFFERING...
