Radio Comedy

I just saw on the Unofficial offical website that "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" will be back again from next week, with Jack Dee in the chair. When Humph died I wasn't too sure about the series continuing, he set the tone for the show, and I did feel that tradition could not really be continued. For the first series after his death there were three chairmen, I liked the way Stephen Fry did the job, he had the toughest challenge, being the first. Rob Brydon did well too, but I guess Jack Dee has the same kind of deadpan attitude Humph had. The series wasn't quite the same as it was, but it has life in it yet.

My News Quiz has been back too. The cast has changed completely since I first started listening, back in the days when Alan Coren, Richard Ingrams and Ian Hislop were the regulars. Now Sandy Toksvig rules, and you get the voices of Jeremy Hardy, Andy Hamilton and Fred MaCauley. And they do make me laugh.

There are so many good comedians and comedy shows to listen to these days. And there is such a lot of history there too. It might easily become an addiction.

I do love radio comedy!
