This year, Olivia Colman Day falls on August Bank Holiday Monday, and BBC Radio 4 Extra will be celebrating with a day of Olivia's radio work. Comedian, Actress and Olivia Colman enthusiast Cariad Lloyd (Griefcast, Austentatious) is bringing together a collection of comedy and drama from across Colman's career, celebrating the nation's newest holiday. Highlights include programmes never before broadcast on Radio 4 Extra all starring Olivia Colman, like the comedy pilot 'Childs Play', and Harold Pinter's powerful and poignant drama 'Betrayal'. We'll also enjoy some Radio 4 Extra favourites like 'Hut 33' and 'Pauline Pepys' Dowry'. There'll be archive interviews with Olivia, and some of her colleagues and fans will tell us about what makes her such a beloved performer.
