[Smiler.]

Not everyone's cup of tea but, I thought John Holmes on the weather was very funny

yes, very good, they're usually on the ball, and John Holmes weather was very funny.

[forsure]

Agreed, they were all on good form this week.

Only flaw is the idiots believe in manmadeup global warming...

That's mainly Marcus Brigstock - and he's only on it occasionally.

As a lifelong fan of comedy on R4, I really think they should put this out to pasture. The news quiz does the satire so much better & ISIHAC does silly like no other show.

I'm not bothered by it, but it just strikes me as consistently average by the standards of the station. (Tin hat on).

Fair comment, I agree it's a poor substitute for NQ; but this week's episode was beter than average.

Yes, the Weather Sketch was particularly good - and very PH Ranty in places.
