Giving the second episode a chance but the first was a poor version of what has become a rather tired format on Radio 4.

On the other hand, Miles Jupp has really improved the News Quiz - not looking forward to Toksvig ruining QI.

In reply to krikoman:

Always wondered what happened to Rob Newman.

In reply to Philip:

Sandi Toksvig will be a breathe of fresh air on QI after so much of Steven Frys self satisfied smugness

In reply to robapplegate:


I'm sure Sandi Toksvig's self satisfied smugness will be a real breath of fresh air.

>who knew?

Certainly not me, so thanks for the heads up. Downloading now... :O)

In reply to krikoman:
The goons? Hancock? About a gazillion other excellent radio comedy shows? My own favourite was Injury Time circa 1982. Bet not many peeps remember that. Looking forward to listening to your suggestion though. Remember The Mary Whitehouse Experience with fondness.

Milky milky!

In reply to robapplegate:


I think Fry's smugness is part of QI. It would be like Just a Minute without Nicolas Parsons.
It was rather frustrating when Fry seemed to be on ever BBC programme, but now he's faded a bit it's not so bad.

In reply to pec:

Err what's that smell ? Has someone been saying sandi toksvig again ?

In reply to Willi Crater:

The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy and more recently the Boosh

In reply to Bulls Crack: The first, definitely one of the best. The second, less so; for me, anyway.

On The Hour, the radio programme from which The Day Today evolved, is up near the top for me. I went from 'wtf?' to pulling off the road because I was hooting with laughter when I caught it for the first time on the way home from work (in 1992, alas...).

In reply to Philip:



I think he's ruined it, but that's opinions I suppose.

In reply to radddogg:


See that milky milky, that's you that is.

In reply to Bulls Crack:


Good ones.

In reply to krikoman:


No it's you, and it's your mum, that is.

In reply to Philip:


He's good, but I preferred toksvig. Difficult shoes to fill on QI, but everything changes sometime. I certainly won't be slagging her off before she's had a chance.....

In reply to krikoman:

I thought this would be about sunny govan community radio, 103.5 for those privileged to live in the Glasgow area. Pure dead brilliant.

In reply to jonnie3430:


It doesn't reach down here, though I'm sure it's a very good program.

In reply to Willi Crater:


That's as maybe, perhaps you missed the information cunningly hidden deep within the comedy.

To be fair it wasn't the comedy which impressed me so much about it.

In reply to Willi Crater:


See that slim mould walking through the forest, that's your mam that is, it's your mam in her best dress going to church.

On balance, I think you are right. Although I strongly suspect your mam to be gay. Currently downloading season 1 of the TV series from YouTube.

In reply to malk:



Aye nice one.

In reply to malk:
Ooh. There's *loads* of that available too. That's the next long drive sorted, ta. :O)

Since this is turning into a "What's the best thing on the radio" thread - stepping away from the comedy for a moment - 'The Listening Project' is a collaboration between the Beeb and the British Library to record and archive a lot of short conversations on all sorts of topics between all sorts of people on all sorts of topics. They can be funny, sad, a bit disturbing sometimes and every once in a while profoundly moving: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01cqx3b
