This week we review Vent (Series 1 Episode 1)
Vent is a dark radio comedy about a man recovering from a coma.
The main character, Ben doesn't get out much because he's in a coma. However, he does have an active imagination, a comfortable bed and his mum and wife at his side.
Amongst the humour we find an original comedy about how a life-threatening illness can change peoples lives and is based on the writer's own experiences when in 2001, Nigel Smith was rushed to hospital with a brain lesion so big, the radiologist thought the scan had been taken post-mortem.
Written by Nigel Smith
Produced by Gareth edwards
A BBC production.
