Just found this on... *shudder* ... Chortle.

Laura Solon: Talking and Not Talking is a Radio 4 character-based sketch and monologue show, written by and starring Perrier Award winning comedian Laura Solon.
The first series aired in early 2007 in Radio 4's 23.00 late-night comedy slot, series 2 receiving an 18.30 repeat just before Christmas. Series 3 will be recording from 8th April, with the series transmitting at 18.30 on Radio 4, for six weeks.
Talking and Not Talking features an ensemble cast consisting of Ben Moor, Rosie Cavaliero and Ben Willbond. Between sketches / monologues we like to include short bursts of vox-pop-style one-liners. That's where you come in.
We're looking for groups of themed one-liners, which should be responses to a single imagined (and unheard) question, for example:
"Did you have any childhood pets?"
"What is your greatest fear?"
"How much television do you watch?"
We're looking for around 10 good responses to each question, allowing for us to pick our favourites and for some level of attrition on the night, making for groups of 3 or 4 on broadcast.
When sending scripts in please make sure that they have your name and e-mail address / contact details at the top of the page along with any co-writer's name where appropriate.
It's also useful to title the page with the subject of that batch of jokes and where relevant to say where the vox pops should be taking place, at an airport or zoo for example. A sample page of formatted lines is available on request.
Please send script submissions to: talkingandnottalking@bbc.co.uk
We're planning some try-out nights from mid-March, so the deadline for inclusion in the first try-out is Monday 9th March.
Fees are determined by BBC contracts in £ per minute broadcast, based upon your level of experience.
If you'd like to talk about your ideas or for a copy of the show on cd, please get in touch via talkingandnottalking@bbc.co.uk
