Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 The QI Elves programme, No Such Thing As The News has sailed under the radar and did well on a low budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearbuyerbell Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Just now, The_Kincardine said: Still pretty shit. The Unbelievable Truth on Radio 4 trumps it. I'll look for it in future. I think WILTY is decent. A limited show, but Mack, Brydon and Mitchell are excellent. It's worthwhile TV, in a world of dross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swordfishtrombone Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Just A Minute is a show I want to like but I cant stand it. It is on at a time when I walk the dog and I generally listen to the Radio 4 comedy half hour before the serious farming business of The Archers. I appreciate the skill it takes the comedians to improvise but I just find it tedious. Perhaps the problem is with me. I think Radio 4 comedy hits peaks and troughs, I cant get into most of their output just now, really don't like Stephen K Amos' sitcom and the Swedish sitcom is dull. When it is good it is really good though. I'm Sorry I haven't A Clue is great and Clare In The Community and Old Harry's Game and Cabin Pressure are excellent.

RandomGuy. Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Absolutely vile to discover people genuinely listen to the radio for any reason other than music or football. Truly disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showing yourself up here. It might help you a little. Try the media review on a Thursday lunchtime with Cosgrove and O'Neil. Superb show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right about peaks and troughs and right now we're in a trough. Even the normally reliable News Quiz has had the heart torn out of it by Miles Jupp. The Swedish sitcom is interesting. It's not very funny but, having had Swedish in laws, it is quite accurate in a cartoonish way. Cabin Pressure was magnificent. Radio 4 Extra has reruns now and again, though.

Fae_the_'briggs Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 8 out of 10 cats when Lock and Richardson were team captains was usually quite good, Jimmy Carr's laugh is fuckin annoying tho. Cats does Countdown is ok for a slight change but they do too many now. Early editions of Mock The Week were usually good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cats does Countdown has become a bit farcical for me, there's too much crap patter in between rounds, and that pointless prop thing they do with the Chippendale Models at the break.Rachel Riley's still worth a watch though and Ijimmy Carr is a better host than that smug cunt than Nick Hewer .

Dindeleux Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Was "They Think it's all Over" a good show back in the day? I used to think it was hilarious but I was very young at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked it a lot when I was a kid, think the BBC could bring it back and make a success out of it, far better than league of their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
