Lionel Nimrod's Inexplicable World
- Lionel Nimrod's Inexplicable World
"Lionel Nimrod's Inexplicable World" was a BBC Radio 4 comedy series starring Stewart Lee and Richard Herring (the comedy duo Lee and Herring), and narrated by Tom Baker as the titular character, Lionel Nimrod, a comically exaggerated version of Baker himself. Over two series Lee and Herring tackled, and explained, such varying topics as Monsters, Love, The Human Body, and, finally, The Unexplained itself. Much of the comic material in the show was re-used on "Fist of Fun".
The series included performances by Armando Iannucci and Rebecca Front who would both continue to work with Lee and Herring on many of their following productions. The series was produced by Sarah Smith. In 2006 the show was rebroadcast on BBC 7.
