I'm posting this in here as not everyone regularly looks at the front page or writers area. Anyway, on behalf of the website, star contributor Helen has been to the BBC to find out more about Radio 4 comedy. She's got some answers from Commissioner Caroline Raphael no less!

I think the messages coming out are pretty clear - hope it helps those of you who are aiming material at Radio 4.
