I'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.
I've been a bit naughty and failed to listen to much radio over the past year, but I used to listen to shows like "Clare in the Community" and so on (Radio 4), as well as Radio 7's gems. ("Hancock's Half Hour" being a prime example!)
I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue is also pretty damn good!
If you're an I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue fan, then you may like to know that the spin-off series Hamish and Dougal is returning on Radio 4, on Thursday 24th August at 11pm.
You may also be interested in Serious About Comedy, a comedy talk show on BBC7, Friday at 8:30am, 10pm and Saturday at 3am.
Yes, Serious About Comedy is pretty good. 
Dire reviews of that "Little Miss Jocelyn" sketch show last night!
Repeats of knowing me, knowing you…with Alan Partridge on BBC7 always worth a listen also check out World of Pubs with John Thomson And Phil Cornwell (also BBC7)

Yeah, there are a few good shows repeated on BBC7. Another one is Absolute Power starring Stephen Fry and John Bird. Tamsin Greig also appears throughout the second series. It is on Thursdays at 8:30am, 10pm and Fridays at 3am.
Ah, brilliant show that. I managed to find a download source of all the radio episodes a while back (although have only listened to one), and I really love the TV series. Brilliant show!

Can you provide me with the link, I'd love to be able have these downloads.
The Department at 11pm on Radio 4 is worth a listen. I also like That Mitchell and Webb Sound and Bearded Ladies, but both have recently finished. Maybe they're available on the web though?
I've not looked for Bearded Ladies, but I would expect so. That Mitchell & Webb Sound is another one I've got my hands on, as I went to a recording for a couple of episodes.
Recommend a show called Nebulous if they ever repeat it. I thought it was xlnt.
Yeah! The Mark Gatiss show. As I called it.
Today I was doing the comedy recommendations on Serious About Comedy! Below is what I recommended.
Stand - Ross Noble & Jeremy Hardy.
TV - That Mitchell and Webb Look & QI.
Radio - The Party Line (Topical sitcom by Punt and Dennis starring James Fleet as a hapless MP.)
DVD - Green Wing Series 2 and Series 1 & 2 boxset
Internet - Newshounds (Topical webcomic set in a newsroom staffed with animals. See internet forum.)
Ah, I'll have to hunt down that episode - and The Party Line, which I keep missing. >_<
TWTTIN!
And 'Genius'.
