Started listening to Old Harry`s Game, you are right, it is brilliant!They`re recording a two part Christmas special of Old Harry on December 3rd, not sure when it`s broadcast though.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

I really recommend Laura Solon`s "Talking and Not Talking" which is a sketch show.

I rather like Bleak Expectations. I think it`s another one that`s soon to be ported over to telly.

I don`t like that idea. :(

Some more I thought of

The Crusader Chronicles - with Hugh Grant
Paradise in Space - with Tony Robinson
its psuedo sequel
Paradise in Cyberspace
Seymore The Fractal Cat
They have also done radio adaps of the following Discworld Books
Colour Of Magic (never found this one yet)
Wyrd Sisters
Guards Guards
Small Gods
Mort

Old Harrys Game / Claire in the community / Dead Ringers / Round The Horne / Steptoe And Son / Beyond Our Ken / Hancocks Half Hour. All are regularly played/ aired on BBC 7.
Rambling Sid Rumpo/ J. Peasmold Gruntfuttock in RTH played by Kenneth Williams is brilliance as is the pairing "Julian and Sandy".

Bona Productions and other "Bona" sketches with KW and Hugh Paddock are ground breakingly close to the bone considering the homophobia that existed in the 60`s.
Off at a tangent here (Sci-Fi) but Journey Into Space is absolutely brilliant and well worth a listen, repeated often on BBC 7.

I really like some of th panel games too like

I`m Sorry....

and The News Quiz

however, let`s not forget there is some sh*te, such as anything with Arthur Smith in it

I`m Sorry I Haven`t a Clue just lost all interest for me when Humpf died. :/ I never liked how prepared and scripted large parts of it were, but Humpf was always perfect.

Have you tried it now Jack Dee has got the gig?
He`s not Humph, nobody ever would be, but he`s pretty good.

Similar problem with the News Quiz. Never the same once Alan Coren died there`s nobody to challenge the overwhelming lefty viewpoint. Jeremy Hardy has nailed the aging grump roll but sometimes seems to the left of whichever Redgrave is currently bandwagon surfing.

I still like the News Quiz, mainly when there`s this scottish comedienne on who I find very funny, and also this Yorkshire comedienne that I think does other Radio 4 stuff. I`m terrible with names tho. :/

I always thought Alan Coren was being jokey to-the-right and not actually there, much like how I think Hardy is extreme to-the-left.

You`ll always be hard pressed to find any comic that isn`t left wing, especially in the UK, because right wing people are just nasty or racist or both. :)

Susan Calman and possibly Sarah Millican who`s Geordie.
I`m sure Coren was putting a lot of it on, in fact his obit show stated as much, but nobody else seems prepared to do the same.
They did have Bob Mills (in bed with me dinner) as a guest who`d be a possible for the roll.
