Bunk Bed is a comedy radio programme on BBC Radio 4 hosted by Peter Curran and Patrick Marber. The programme features the hosts lying in bunk beds, discussing various topics.[1] In some episodes, they are joined by a guest on the "pull-out mattress" - these have included Kathy Burke, Don Warrington, Cate Blanchett, Benjamin Zephaniah, Rhys Ifans, Jane Horrocks, Guy Garvey & Rachael Stirling.[2]
It was described as "slightly weird" by Kate Chisholm,[3] and was praised by Miranda Sawyer as being "strange, funny, silly, enchanting, beautifully put together".[4] The seventh series began its broadcast on 6 January 2021, on BBC Radio 4.[2] [5] The programme was a finalist in the New York Festivals in April 2020.[6] The ninth series began on 12 January 2022, with Harry Shearer a guest in episodes 2 and 3.[7]
