Saw this live last year, after years of trying to get tickets.
By far the best 'regular' comedy on R4.
Remember when Chris Morris had his programs on R4....those were the days.
4Extra are in the process of re-running all of the old episodes of Blue Jam and old episodes of On The Hour start soon too. By far the best 'regular' comedy on R4.

Now I love the "Now Show" but last night episode annoyed me due to guests SHOUTING!!!!!!
Rick Hall is good, but why did he have to wander off from the mic and start shouting, + the lady later on also shouting down it.
Very annoying
Playing 2 characters, comes from his stand up. He even commented that it was pointless on radioRick Hall is good, but why did he have to wander off from the mic and start shouting, + the lady later on also shouting down it.

Cabin Pressure is being repeated from episode one on I-Player Radio 4
Thanks, I have the CDs which have got me through many a long drive but will catch up as well. Such a fantastic series.

Or the one with the piano. It's great that it appeals to all ages, my friend's kids were kept entertained listening to it and playing 'Yellow Car' for 2 hours in the car. Apparently it was the most relaxing drive my friend had experienced.
Great cast in that series, and the word games they play to pass the time are fantastic. One of my favourites. Now Show is still the best of the current offerings.
The Christmas Dead Ringers was really good.
There was also a funny sitcom with a few old favourites on the 11.30 slot a month back. Can't remember the name but it was about 3 couples. John Thompson (Fast Show etc) was is in pule a Scottish bloke.
The Now Show was ok last week but like everything else in the evening slot towards the latter half of last year - rather shove wasps up my arse.
By the way - anyone wanna guess what the most frequently uttered word by Jeremy Hardy is?

1.) Tory
The man has no act. He just regurgitates the same bks he was spouting back in 1990. He must have been the happiest Islington luvvie of them all when the Tories came back to power because he wouldn't have to write any new material for the next five years.
The bloke is a pathetic little left wing weasel who doesn't realise that wishing for a Marxist happy clappy wonderland isn't going to work anymore. Not of course he would have been a part of it anyway, in his comfortable little town house paid for by the licence payer, making sure his kids go to the best schools while telling the rest of us how that we must live inclusively and with understanding if we want to live a perfect life with candy floss clouds and buttercup forests.
The blokes a and I resent every penny of my licence fee that he receives.

you about 0.0000000001 %of your licence fee. Jeremy says if he sends you 10p that's reimbursed you for his career several times over and wonders if that will stop being quite so beastly about him ?
Jeremy also asks - should your licence fee only be spent on people you like ?

Roger Allam's performance on Cabin Pressure is pure genius.
Yep, people get hysterical about Benedict Cucumberpatch but Roger steals the show. Perfect comic timing. John Finnemore is a superb writer, his blog on the last episodes is a great insight into his thoughts on the characters http://johnfinnemore.blogspot.co.uk/The Hypno-Toad said:

No, wait, that's Bender.
Hardy has mutated into the audible equivalent of the trots. Just when you think it's safe, he starts speaking & the pit of your stomach groans.
Now Allam on the other hand is a joy to listen to. I'd pay to hear him read a bus timetable.
