I see that 2nd series of Sarah Millican's Support Group is on R4Extra on 1st May at 10pm. Is this the premiere of the series, or has it previously been on R4?
The BCG page for this show states that it is on R4 Extra 1st May at 10pm, but the R4 Extra schedule has Arthur Smith's show listed.

Anybody heard the Simon Day show? I didn't know it was on till after. I've set my recorder for the repeat and this week's ep, though.

Not yet. But I'm excited.
Another great episode of Down the Line. I especially loved the Neverbridge stuff and the woman who thought we're mollycoddling old people.
Quote: Griff @ April 26 2011, 7:32 PM BSTI liked the pisstaking of DAB sound quality at the end, too.
Was that a piss take of DAB sound quality at the end? I took it to be Neverbridge removed Gary Bellamy and replaced him with someone else, and tried to use SFX to make out it was Bellamy? I hope I didn't miss anything after that as I turned off.
Quote: Griff @ April 27 2011, 1:06 PM BSTYou're probably right. I missed the start of the episode so I didn't really get all the Neverbridge stuff. He just said something about digital sound during his final speech, so I assumed that was the gag. (Also the crap sound quality of DAB is something that bugs me every morning when my crappy DAB alarm clock goes off and I get woken up by John Humprhys sounding like Davros.)
I've yet to go DAB so that little joy awaits me.

Even I've got DAB.

Yes thank you, Jogger Boy.

Yes, this was my interpretation as well.
An excellent end to another great series, loved the bit with the conspiracy theorist talking about the numbers adding up to Tony Blair and Bellamy calling him a "Middle East Peace convoy".

I'm gonna jog up to your house and give you a massive bitch-slappin'.
I'm enjoying the Simon Day show. It's not as laugh out loud funny as Down the Line, but it is very good, with some great moments.
The Simon Day Show was a highlight of the week again. Tony Beckton is a great character and one that wouldn't have been out of place in The Fast Show. Can't wait for the Dave Angel episode next week.
I must catch up with Down the Line as I think I only caught an episode or two of this series.
