Series 3 of Ability coming in February 2021
Recording series two in the studio....those were the days!
I'm very happy to be able to tell you that the third series of my BBC Radio 4 sitcom, Ability, will be broadcast weekly from Wednesday 10th February 2021.
For those of you who don't know, Ability is a sitcom about a disabled bloke called Matt. He can’t speak, and sometimes uses his disability to his advantage and can be a bit of a dick at times. So obviously it’s purely fictional!
He shares a flat with his best mate Jess (who he also fancies) and he has a very dodgy carer called Bob. Together they get up to quite a lot of mischief. In the past, they have decided to become drug dealers just to see if they could get away with it and set up a robot sex line to make a bit of money from lonely old men. You can expect more of this sort of thing in the third series too.
You can catch up with series one and two over on BBC Sounds.
Despite being taped remotely, with the cast in our homes, after plans for a studio taping in November had to be abandoned because of Covid, I still really enjoyed doing it. At least this way I don't have to get dressed!
I really enjoyed writing this series with Kat Butterfield and Daniel Audritt, and it was great to see the cast again. We always have a great laugh together when we're recording and this time was no different.
I'm looking forward to letting people hear what Matt, Bob and Jess have been up to in the last year or so. Make sure you tune in (or whatever the kids do these days!)

YouTubers tricked four royal pundits into commenting on the Harry and Meghan interview before they'd seen - they tell James O'Brien why they organised the prank.
@mrjamesob | @archiemanners | @joshua_pieters
Only after they’ve got their blue passports though, Pete...
I think Harry & Meghan are about to feel the wrath of our nation 🇬🇧 Many Brits and our British press will want to defend and protect our Queen, I think thousands will stand united behind our sovereign! 🇬🇧💂

meeeoooow - good news - lets face it some vets are better than GP's
by a vet? hope he had a steady hand
Did the vet make you sit and beg then give you your Jab then tickle behind your ears? Good boy Lee
At least you won't get fleas this summer 🤷♂️
Lost Voice Guy Hope the vet didn’t use a thermometer beforehand. We all know where they shove them on pets
In the back of the neck 😮 lol hope he didn't take your temperature before jab lol
hope I don't get a vet on Monday. Getting a jag from a vet would make me think that I am getting put down 😛
Careful Lee ! Vets have a tendency to to put old dogs down! 🥺🤣🤣
Had my first dose January.hope vet didnt tickle your tummy after 😂
Just make sure the vet doesn't offer to take your temperature!
Lol i said this to my friend the other day their treating us like dogs now we have to have vaccination certificate to travel
I'd be fine with that. A veterinarian signed my birth certificate. (Seriously.)
I won't ask how he took your temp😳
Any side effects for you Lee? I hope all is well!
Lee Well Done!!!
Somebody else that has been done, wait a minute, that doesn't sound right.... Best wishes from Yorkshire....
I wonder if this will be turned into a joke on stage at some point? You crack me up Lee 😂
Well done I had my 1st dose Monday.
Weird that the Vet didn't put the year as part of the date. Is it weird?
Hope it didn’t leave you feeling ruff
Did you get a pat on the head after.😃
Was it local......
Brilliant news 👏
Not even got a letter for mine yet x
Had mine today too pleased I am in good company x

A brilliant comedy. I've listened to every episode several times and they always make me laugh.
I heard the last episode earlier today and hope there will be more. Apart from being funny, the show gives me a feeling of home somehow. Weird... <3
It was brilliant. Roll on the next series.

Happy Valentine’s Day. I sent my card to Boris Johnson because he’s the one who’s fucked me the most in the past year! ❤️
A nod’s as good as a wink to a blind bat, or to Boris Johnson. Happy Valentines’ Day, Lee!
Absolutely brilliant 👏
Ha ha ha I would have sent one with just one hand...to fit his title w_nker
Rules that were not followed caused the mess.. I'm sorry you were affected but so were many others.
Brilliant, Lee. I cracked up laughing on the X140 just now 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
OMG I laughed so much I almost choked hahahaha
Aye he's fucked a lot of disabled people! Absolutely brilliant!! Good one!! 😂😂😂😂
This made me cackle out loud. Bravo sir!
I'm in the US. Can you send one like this to Trump?
Superb 🦋
FYI, he's not been faithful to you. He's royally fucked me several times this year x
Oh my god. I love you😁😁😁🤣
Love it!
Brilliant 😂😂😂
Didn't you get a PPE contact?
Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those of us who are familiar with ‘Ability’ heard this in both Lee’s computer and head voice 🤣🤣🤣
Yep
Brilliant!
You and the rest of the country buddy!
Love it 😍
This made me laugh! Xx
Or the other hand, which loosely translated is “fuck you.”
🤣🤣🤣 I love you pal.
Do you have a Geordie/County Durham accent? Do you like to talk a lot? Would you like to donate your voice to me to use on my iPad? Then read this -
Wanted: Geordie accent - Lost Voice Guy
lostvoiceguy.com
Do you have a Geordie/County Durham accent? Do you like to talk a lot? Would you like to donate your voice to me to use on my iPad? Then read on. The very kind people at CereProc have offered to make me my very own Geordie accent for my iPad, so that I don’t have…How cool would it be if you got Ant or Dec to record for you! I know they're Newcastle but that would be so funny! Go back to BGT with one (or both) of their voices
Sorry, I’m a Southern softie speaking Estuary English, good luck though 😊
I think you currently have the voice that my Dad had using an eye gaze system x
Sorry mate, I’ve only got shocking cockney here? Hope you’re keeping well Lee. Stay safe mate
Hope you get someone, being a Geordie is a massive part of your identity, you should have it x
I do but I believe you just wont to talk in your native accent not a comedian. You carnt leave the accent wot you won with .you need that but I believe you can talk to your faleyme the way you wont to good look
Happy to help but I’m from Sunderland so not quite right accent I guess
Hope you find one, bonny lad! Then next season, try it with a lassies voice, be hilarious.
Grew up in East Durham and live in Sun'Lun. I have a beautiful voice as you would expect
Have Steffen Peddie or Alfie Joey not come forward yet?! Come on lads - your chance to be The Voice!! x
If I had a Geordie accent, I'd help! 💕
Please at least have one or two phrases from Any and Dec
Message Jimmy Nail ( sexiest example of the accent you’re after ) 💕
Another vote for Ant & Dec!
What a privilege to be immortalised as last voice guy!!
Yes, I do, from leadgate near consett. Originally from Stanley la. 😁 😁. I did the Grove club with you, was a charity (guitar)
You were on BGT alongside two out of three of the most famous Geordies of all time, can you not ask them? 😂
Get Ant and Dec to do it for you.
Would Nick fit the bill (and be interested?) Too young though 🤔 Thought it's worth mentioning 😁 Lauren if not then I'm sure you or ya mam have plenty of geordie friends.
Andrew Hayden-Smith . Love it on the radio
For a female one you should soooo contact sarah millican. 🙂
If you ever need a Black Country voice (probably not eh 😆) then let me know 👍
Ant and Dec would be a good one to have mate
Will it be available to purchase for anyone else? Currently no Geordie voices available!
Alan Shearer would def do it 👍
Delighted to announce that I'm going back out on the road in 2022. My Cerebral LOLsy tour will be coming to venues across the UK. Sign up and get full details of the tour at www.lostvoiceguy.com/2022tour
