Rachel Aroesti, The Guardian, 8th September 2017Jimmy Carr is your host for this enduring takeover of the afternoon quiz show format by the near-the-knuckle satire show. Alan Carr is the big-name guest, but there should be some good stuff from Cariad Lloyd and Kevin Bridges as well. Joining staunch good sport Susie Dent in the dictionary corner, meanwhile, are Radio X's weekend double act Elis James and John Robins, who seem likely to find just the right tone.

Stuart Wilson, To Do List, 27th July 2017Onion at the Fringe: 2017 TVO Edinburgh round-up
It's that time of year again: the Edinburgh Fringe is almost upon us, and once again a cavalcade of TVO regulars are heading across the Scottish border to entertain the masses on a daily basis.
The Velvet Onion, 18th July 2017The premise of Austentatious (18 June, 7.15pm, Radio 4) is that the great novelist actually wrote hundreds of lesser-known works, any one of which can be acted out by a troupe of improvisers including Amy Cooke-Hodgson, Graham Dickson, Charlotte Gittins and Cariad Lloyd if the audience only shout out its name. The extended canon includes Strictly Come Darcy and Mansfield Shark. The first one the team essay is Married to a Cad and a Bounder; the resulting programme works by marrying the pert formality and complex exposition favoured by Austen with a more modern sensibility. Most of all, it works, thanks to the comic reflexes of all concerned.
