Lionel Nimrod's Inexplicable World

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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. The show was recently rebroadcast on BBC7. 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.
