I love to laugh!*
We’ve nothing but great, steaming heaps of admiration to deposit over the hard work that clearly goes into this admirable and reliably-weekly effort. The host obviously has the contacts, and evidently knows his comedy, even if the latter is reflected only rarely in his quiet, somewhat withdrawn and sweetly mirthless delivery. But he gets going when the guests arrive (except the dull, cobwebbed ones), and this is building very nicely into a layered, quirky exploration of British comedy daftness since the War. Things only truly deflate when the tut-tutters take over - witness the Q two-parter, when nobody involved seemed to be having fun, except when disapproving of the past. Ho hum … The Bob Fischer episodes are the stand-outs, but it’s almost all of it worth your while. And makes sense of Wednesdays.
