Inside the Lines is a warm audio comedy set in Brighton’s most unusual shop — a colouring-in service run by Paul and Laura, two friends who really, really love colouring-in. You bring the artwork, and they do the colouring. For a small fee, of course.
Each episode brings a special guest and a new complication, which invariably ends in chaos. From Turner Prize nominations to surprise hen-dos, things rarely go to plan. But somehow, Paul and Laura always make it back to their felt-tips, a glass of milk and a party ring biscuit.
Funny, ridiculous, and kind of sweet — it’s colouring-in for your ears.

Laura is thrilled that Inside the Lines has been nominated for the Turner Prize for ‘Weasel Getting Ready for Bed’. She can’t wait to go to London and see if they’ve won. Paul just wants to complete the shop’s tax return in peace and in tune with the autumn equinox.
Thankfully, they have a perfect guide in a loquacious gallery owner and devoted fan who is ready to usher them into the baffling world of contemporary art.
Complications ensue.
