"Topical" Comedy on Radio 4

Only posting this because the BBC has nowhere (as far as I can tell), except Points of View, to express my amazement at such a dogst piece of broadcasting...
Lewis Macleod Is Not Himself

The problems with impressionists are legion and on the radio more so but this plumbed new depths. The announcer said "a new series on radio 4" but I had to check to make sure it was from 2014 and not 1994.
The first three sketches/ impressions (I kid you not):
1. Lisa Stansfield. Yes, Lisa Stansfield. In 2014.
2. James Bond. Connery / Roger Moore (almost impossible to tell until he actually said "Roger Moore") / Pierce Brosnan
3. The Beatles. Each one helpfully introduced in the dialogue "hey, Paul""Yes Ringo?" "where's George?" "I'm over here with John"
I couldn't listen to any more.
Our licence fee goes on that.
People got paid to do that.
Utter, utter rubbish and I can't make them stop....
That feels better.

I like Count Arthur Strong on the radio - the TV show was awful though. I find Jeremy Hardy ok on the radio, my brother went to see him live, walked out half way through because of the tedious 6th form socialism. The Now show on the other hand is dreadful, utterly predictable tories bad/ labour good, knowing sarcasm and irony.
