  • Summary

  • Please note: contains strong language and adult content.

    Monologues, sketches and stories set at the Virgin Money London Marathon, narrated by some of the biggest and best names in comedy.

    Tens of thousands of runners descend on London for one of the biggest events of the year... but there's a lot more to the Virgin Money London Marathon than just running.

    Over thirteen episodes crammed with some of comedy's brightesttalents and the oddcelebrity cameo, we get inside the minds of: a man who's entered the race by accident; an aunt being blackmailed by her niece; a ghost doomed to haunt the course for eternity; a woman who develops an unusual relationship with her phone; and a couple who are about to get engaged with disastrous consequences... among many others.

    Hosted by Mark Watson and featuring Ricky Gervais, Sara Pascoe, David Baddiel, Adam Kay, Angela Barnes, Rufus Hound, London Hughes and dozens more, this is a 'day in the life' comedy ride through the famous race.

Creative, Thoughtful Humor

I now want to run a marathon just to see all my amusing flaws and to potentially hear what my shoes think.
