The Blagger's Guide is a British series of comical documentaries on specific music genres, originally broadcast on BBC Radio 2. Not all the information presented in the programme are facts.[1] Some items have been exaggerated for comic effect. The series works on a monologue style, with clips of music inserted for illustrational purposes.[1]
It is presented as a spoof documentary and therefore there is no laugh track. The series originally ran from 20 August 2005 – 24 April 2009.[1][2] The 2012 series looked at the 2012 Olympics[3] and in late 2012 there followed specials on The Beatles and James Bond.[4]
The first two series focused on rock and pop music, and the third featured classical music.[1] A live jazz[5] special was recorded in 2010. Doctor Who special was recorded in 2013.[6] Eurovision special was recorded in 2014.[7][8]
The series is narrated by David Quantick, who co-wrote the series with Simon Poole. It also featured Lewis MacLeod and Kate O'Sullivan.[1]
