In their own words

A coming-of-age, slice of life, audio fiction comedy with a difference. Our ageing heroine shares senior moments, family relationships and adventures—entertaining and a wee bit provocative. In Season 6 some ancient Greek deities choose her to 'save the planet' - if she only knew what her superpower was.

Best episodes of Am I Old Yet? — Comedy audio drama

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

Busted

A cancelled lift, a lunch detour, and a tea-room correction turn into dry domestic comedy.

Am I Old Yet? turns a cancelled lift, a lunch detour, and a tea-room correction into the sort of small social friction it handles well. The humor comes from everyday obligations curdling into annoyance, then catching on one more literal-minded correction or awkward exchange.

Purgatory

A hospital limbo that gets its humor from manners, uncertainty, and quiet panic.

Helen stays boxed into a white, sealed-off headspace, talking herself through boredom, disbelief, and the possibility that she may already be dead. The tree she wants to see gives the piece a spare tenderness that keeps the silence from feeling empty.

Where's Helen?

A missing Helen episode that turns overlapping voices and emergency chaos into a tightly wound serial chapter.

Am I Old Yet? Season 12, episode two, moves fast once Helen goes missing on a walk in South London. The comedy comes from the noise of people trying to manage a mess while talking over one another, and from Helen still holding onto her bearings as the situation gets harder to…

Bonus 01 Baked Off

A sourdough class becomes a gently awkward lesson in group dynamics.

Baked Off Live, Laugh, Loaves turns an online sourdough class into a neatly awkward group exercise, with Margo, Caro, Juliana, Duncan, Rosemary, and Freddie all getting pulled into the basics of bacteria, yeast, and keeping a starter alive.

Game, Set and Match

A hospital farce that keeps its nerve while family ties and identities wobble.

Set almost entirely in the hospital waiting room, this finale keeps Helen unconscious while John, Janie, and Susie wait on scan results and try to keep pace with a weekend rush and a steady stream of relatives.

Return of the Bread

A cafe reunion turns into a tidy scramble of coffee, lunch plans, and first aid.

Return of the Bread builds its charm from a cafe reunion that starts with coffee and lunch plans, then folds into first-aid panic when Ilsa hurts herself.

Nana Goes Gently Into That Good Night

A missing-person concern and an approaching funeral turn practical chatter into dry, steady comedy.

Am I Old Yet? keeps Helen caught between worry and routine: Prashani has disappeared, and Nana Madeline's funeral sits close enough to shape the day. Its strength is the plain work of calling around, checking hospitals, making a list, and deciding when to go to the police.

Am I Dead Yet?

A coma, a hospital search, and tea-fueled awkwardness keep the episode tightly wound.

Helen's coma gives the episode its backbone: she is in an emergency ward, the staff are trying to figure out who she is, and Janie is looking for her with help from neighbor Jennifer.
