I didn't think I could like Phill Jupitus any less but I've just heard him doing poetry on Arthur Smith's Balham Bash and, yes, I was wrong.
On Arthur Smith's Balham Bash; I didn't think it was very good, I don't think I'll listen again.

I think I'll give this a go.
Baggage was cancelled tonight. 
There should be a separate 'Chip v. Baggage' thread, as it's turning into a bit of a soap opera.

Can't find it in my podcast archive. When Rossy's off, you just get a message saying the podcast is on a break, rather than highlights of the replacement show, so not sure there is one, sorry.

Baggage would win. It's already forcing me to listen to it every week against my will.
Just a minute is my favourite..Paul Merton a regular and very funny. Going to see Nicholas Parsons next week at Brighton Fringe Festival-god knows what he's going to be doing!?
Mmm, Arthur Strong's back. Not sure if it's new or a repeat. Not bad, but still doesn't really do it for me.

I won't say it (actually can't stop myself: "check the guide!", ha ha, sorry). It's a repeat. I love Count Arthur, but I can understand why others might not.
What did everyone think of Charlie Brooker's So Wrong It's Right? I'd be interested to hear - I loved it - made me laugh a lot - but I'm wondering if I that is the same reaction others had too.

I listened to it this morning and thought it was rather good. I'm certainly plan to listen to it again next week.
It was also an interesting edition of The Museum of Curiosity, although I was slightly dissapointed in that Terry Pratchett donated something that he himself created in one of his books rather than something he was not responsible for.

It was solid and reliable,funny but it didn't push any boundaries. Brooker is the perfect host for such a show, Hound is the perfect guest, and Mitchell's reputation is indisputable. Coren does little for me. The material was good.
Not that it matters, but it wasn't really a panel show; more a series of anecdotes with associated banter. I wonder when we'll stop having endless truth/lie wrong/right themed shows always with the same people?
Anyone know where I can download So Wrong It's Right, legally or not-so? I'd rather listen to it on my mp3 player than at the computer on iPlayer.
Get iPlayer Grabber. 
Cheers, Nil. But it's Leopard+ only and I'm still on stinking Tiger after my failed attempt over the past few days of trying to upgrade. *grumble grumble*
Poo.

Guest repetition is a problem across these kind of programmes, however, this is partly due to certain agent types turning their noses up at radio shows, forcing production companies to end up booking the tried, tested and readily available people as panelists.
Did anyone else hear The Alex Lowe Double Act last night? On the whole, I thought it was rather good. Most of the sketches went well (althought I thought that Alistair McGowan's BBC reports sketch ended a bit abruptly). I liked the Barry from Watford character as well.
