Join comedians Phil Ellis (Taskmaster) and Anna Thomas (BBC New Comedy Award Winner) for the world’s most demented Breakfast Show. On a weekly basis, Preston’s funniest export Ellis catches up with the incredibly Welsh Anna on a weekly basis to talk about their very different, but equally chaotic lives. Chat, laughs and mayhem.
If you’ve got something you’d like to share with Phil and Anna, drop us an email at hello@alovelytime.co.uk. Put, ‘I’m a worm!’ in the subject.
Produced by John Stansfield for A Lovely Time Productions.
Edited by Sam Stroker.
Photography by Matty Ride-Smith.
Design by Sam O'Leary.
Original music by Jack Lewis Evans.
This is it, the worms finally come to rest. And without microphones no less! Yes, the bailiffs have taken our mics (thanks John!) so we had to work around with the camera's microphone and you know what, you can barely tell (you can totally tell and we're very sorry!)
What a way to go out! Thanks for all those that supported us and stuck with us. The worms rose, but now they must rest.
