Damn the Torpedoes! is an audience-inspired, military themed, 30 minute comedy sketch show that was a first for BFBS Radio. The Damn The Torpedoes! team invited injured service personnel and members of the Band of Brothers, to help create some sketches at a ‘Writers’ Room’ workshop at the Tedworth House Recovery Centre. Alison Pritchard the shows Producer says “We ran a comedy writing ‘script workshop’ with the ‘Band of Brothers’, a mixed group of Afghan veterans overcoming life changing injuries which was great fun, in fact some of the sketches we worked on that day made it into the winning show. Richard Hatch, the show’s Executive producer says “The show is a scattergun of comedy sketches, which try hard to place the comedy whoopee cushion carefully on the chair of, the British Army, Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. The show takes listeners into action around the world, refuelling at exotic locations like the Kabul inter-services golf classic and the worst nightclub in Portsmouth”. Damn The Torpe
