The latest series of Genius is available on BBC Audiobook, and sees Dave Gorman and celebrity guests including Chris Addison, Armando Iannucci and Brian Sewell chew over ridiculous, unworkable but sometimes genius inventions, schemes and policies of the public.
Genius invites listeners to air those incredible concepts that strike you just before falling into a nice sleep or after one-too-many drinks at the pub- not necessarily ideas that are worthy or even very well thought through but have a hint of genius such as selling Bovril as a fizzy drink, breathalysers on your mobile phone to stop you from making regrettable calls and running the House of Commons by the rules of Just A Minute.

This last one is particularly excellent, and I think the most likely to be integrated; as far as I can tell, current House of Commons rules make as much sense as Mornington Crescent.

Genius 2 will be available from all good bookshops, online at www.bbcshop.com or by BBC Audiobooks direct mail on 0800 136 919.
