We're gearing up for the next show. Here's a quick look at some of the costume ideas and bits of set we're collecting. (For reference, Mark is the one in the middle with the beehive, and Erica is the one with the hairy arms and Adam's apple.)

With any documentary there are outtakes. We interviewed a band reforming and here are the bits that didn't make the final cut...#GloryDays is next week at the #CorpusPlayroom @adctheatre where we won't know why any of the groups are reuniting...#improv adctheatre.com/glory

Oh, how we remember those times at the BBC, photoshoots for the Radio Times, winning the BAFTA for best Unscripted Drama... one of *many possible* #GloryDays next week...how did it all go wrong? Who was the diva? Who did a 'Robbie Williams' and left...? adctheatre.com/glory

Spotted this @dinky_doors in Cambridge today. Very appropriate for our next show #GloryDays @adctheatre next week which is mockumentary-style.

In good old Radio 2 style, we'd love to hear from you and a moment you would love to relive if you could. Here's one of Carla's...she says 'I'd jumped fire, crawled through a long concrete pipe, and climbed walls. I can't remember why my friend was called Oink though!' #GloryDays

Happy #InternationalWomensDay In celebration we bring you a throwback to one of our favourite scenes, two mother dragons discussing feeding their broods...

*Sneak preview* We have a new show in April called 'Glory Days'. It's all about nostalgia, attempting to relive/revive those rosy memories when we were at our highest high (famous or not), and how we grow and change. It'll be 10-13 April in Cambridge. Join us!

We had a splendid, if very dark, tale night. 2 smugglers selling 'Pangolin Coast' tea dump it in the Thames, and spot a tentacle in the water. A lawyer defends an unrepentant client and a couple go to extraordinary lengths for their date nights, watching hangings and trials..1/2

The smugglers discover the kraken and hack off its tentacle, which does nothing to stop it consuming one of them. Bhaal's servant (the defendant) claims her victim, the trial concludes, and a strange crate of tea washes up in the North of England...2/2

Looking through the archives today, I came across possibly one of our favourite Ministry scenes ever. I think the offer was 'One-way ticket to Barcelona'... #Throwback #Improv youtube.com/watch?v=05BE9KMJ…
