Welcome to UNPACKED - A brand-new spin-off show to Armchair Adventures for your listening and ‘join in’ pleasure. ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ has ‘It Takes Two’💃🏿, ‘The Great British Bake Off’ has an “Extra Slice’🍰, and now...Armchair Adventures’ has UNPACKED! 🧳😀

Hosted by Connie’s Uncle Chris, drama teacher and actor extraordinaire, and a cheeky soundboard called Ziggy 🔉, each episode challenges teams of customers and adventurers to ‘Unpack’ an adventure through a series of super silly games and some proper-hard adventure questions. 

“Now first up let’s have a listen to Uncle Chris’s Sound Souvenirs. Bring on my wheely wheely big suitcase, please. No, no, no Ziggy, it’s wheely wheely bigger than that!”

In this first 'Unpacked' episode, we'll be unpacking 'The Musical Extravaganza Adventure' from season 4. In the adventure, we meet Mrs Maestro, and together with Connie, Connie’s customers, you adventurers, and Mrs Maestro’s grumpy bus driver called Daren, we pick up the four families of the orchestra and get them to a super-duper concert in time.

🎶🎺“It’s an orchestra! What beautiful music!” 🎻🎶

Which Unpacked team will take home the super special extraordinary prize? Will Ziggy the soundboard drive Uncle Chris ‘round the wall’ by playing all the sound effects in the wrong order? Will you be silly enough and knowledgeable enough to ‘join-in’? It’s time to start Unpacking adventures to find out!
