Surely it was more of a crackling moment.

Glad to see The Museum of Curiosity back, although as much as I like Sean Locke, I did prefer Bill Bailey in the support role. And I missed them having an obscure academic on, although I guess they thought Brian Eno would fill that gap.
Don't worry, next week there is a physicist and a cloud expert - that and a comedian I never heard of called Tim Fitzhigham.
We're a new online-audio sitcom about the last four people on earth being trapped in a library featuring Nadia Kamil of Spats. Hope you guys could give us a listen. If you are on facebook could you also add us as a friend as facebook deleted our last account for making too many friend requests.

Good news: The Salmon of Doubt, Douglas Adams's unfinished novel is to be adapted for radio after all.
Bad news: It is being adapted by the person who wrote Spice World, Badly Dubbed Porn and several series of S Club 7.
Another decent if unspectacular episode of Elven Quest, but I can't hear the bad guy without thinking of him as a poor man's Blackadder. Who plays him?

Alistair McGowan plays Lord Darkness.

It's a good performance, but I just can't get Blackadder out of my mind when I hear him.
It was a good episode of The Museum of Curiosity last night. I never heard of the guest comedian Neil Fitzhigham, but he was good, as was his exhibit for the Museum (Don Quixote).
Something else of interest - the Sony Awards have taken place and here are the winners for the comedy category:
* Gold - Count Arthur Strong's Radio Show!
* Silver - Adam and Joe
* Bronze - The Now Show

I'd disagree there. I enjoyed the show a lot - especially Telescope Man and Cloud Guy - but I thought the comedian was the weak link.
I enjoyed Heresy tonight. Love Jeremy Hardy and Sue Perkins, and Victoria Coren grows on me each week.

Been a bit hit and miss for me. I've enjoyed it, but not sure they've got the balance quite right. And I am getting slightly tired of hearing the same old people (Jeremy Hardy, Sue Perkins, Dave Gorman) on every single Radio 4 comedy show going. Then again it could be worse, they could draft in Corne and Horden.
Another good episode of ElvenQuest tonight. The other characters are now beginning to grow on me.

Me too! I really enjoyed last night's offering. Good stuff.
I think Josie Long messed up her cutting by her keeping going on about liking people with more than one Christian name. She should just read what she brought along.
