The Department is a satirical comedy on BBC Radio 4 about a secret organisation with the power to influence every aspect of your life.

The show is written and performed by Chris Addison, John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman (cancelled after the third series which was written only by Oliver and Zaltzman, after Addison concentrated on his first book^[1]), with Peter Dickson, Matthew Holness and Lucy Montgomery. Addison, Oliver and Zaltzman star as Research Team 32, an eccentric three-man think-tank with the brief to brainstorm new ideas on solving society's problems.
