When was it on?

Quote: Mark @ July 16 2010, 7:13 PM BSTI'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue: I'll say it again. I'm bored of it now. I was listening to a classic episode on Radio 7 the other week, recorded before I was born. It was funnier.
I have to say, I find Jack Dee reading the chairman's script funnier than ever, plus he is perfect at giving a cutting riposte. For me, right now is the classic period. Apart from the musical bits.
That thing by Jeremy Dyson is on next week, innit?
I may well venture into the hellhole that is BBC Radio comedy for that man.
BBC Radio 2 are currently having a comedy season.
My Dad was just telling me about a Tommy Cooper Doc with Sean lock from last Tuesday which I will be listening to on Catchup shortly.
It's Barry Cryer & Bob Monkhouse next I think.
And judging by the picture on the website it looks like Peter Sellers & Kenneth Williams to come.

I was very disappointed with Recorded For Training Purposes. It seemed a pretty weak opener. There were some good sketches in the show - I particularly liked the bomb disposal one - but there was also some really feeble stuff. The opening station announcr gag was embarrassingly poor, and the recurring Graham Norton Saturday Night stuff was hackneyed in the extreme. Must try harder.
I just started listening to RFTP, but I had to turn off when they cracked a "KD LANG IS A LESBIAN!" joke. What year is it?
2010, Ben. It's 2010.
How can I trust you, Leevil? If that is your real made up name.
You're right, it's not my real made up name. I stole it off a sailor on a very, very dark winter's night...
Quote: Mark @ August 18 2006, 3:23 PM BSTI'm only just getting into listening to Radio 4 and Radio 7. I've always thought of myself as a TV man rather than a radio listener however I've just discovered The Now Show for example and think that's great.
Really appreciate any tip offs as to current funny radio shows I might be missing.
Sorry to repeat a request I've already posted in Sitcoms, but this looks like a much more suitable place for it. If you've never listened to the brilliant Kay Stonham & Simon Greenall penned radio comedy 'Robin and Wendy's Wet Weekends', do yourself a favour and get over to my FB group here:

Join the group and listen to series one and two (three to follow very shortly). One of the best radio comedies and sadly very underrated in my view. Ultimately we would like the BBC to commission another series and this is the aim of the group.
"Mother Teresa: My Life As A Pickled Walnut Impersonator" 
I'm enjoying the slight piss-take at Just a Minute they are having.

Yes, that was excellent. Dee really nailed Parsons. Quite cruelly, I thought.
I'm trying to access the link to recommend venues for the next series. I don't think it's working yet.
