Return of BBC Radio 4's hilarious (IMO) Victorian comedy

Thursday 6.30pm Radio4 (92.5fm for those in the South, bit higher up the scale for those in more northerly climbs! )

Enjoy!

Thank god - Had the misfortune of listening to what its replacing the last two weeks, is it 'Count something'.. dreadful. Pleased to see the back of that.

That's the one. Terrible. "Have you ever seen a man riding a gazebo? I mean zebra?"

Not funny.

Very occassionally it has some amusing lines. But you are right. It is yet another programme where a few jokes are stretched out with padding to make a full show.

Did anyone listen to Lenny Henry's radio comedy tonight? Rudy's Rare Records, 6:30 on Radio 4.

I thought it was hilarious... last week's was even funnier...

heard half of it and really enjoyed it.

(how old are we? I'm 36 and think radio 4 is great)

"russell howards good news" anyone?
