Q and A with comedian Danielle Ward

Interview with Danielle Ward.

Do the Right Thing, the jolly panel-show podcast, is back. Now on its sixth series (crikey), and hosted by Danielle Ward, it is not only a right thing but a good one too. More manic and edgy than the traditional radio panel-show offering, but not so much that it makes you think the dread word "wacky", the programme's guests last week were Richard Osman and Shappi Khorsandi. Khorsandi was her usual, likably haphazard self, and I am very much enjoying Osman's recent transformation from televisual factoid guy into one of the funniest men in media. He really does make me laugh. Regulars Michael Legge (grumpy, funny) and Margaret Cabourn-Smith (cheerful, funny) are excellent, and Ward (acerbic, funny) is too. Her opening line, about putting an Egyptian mummy into an old people's home, immediately informed listeners that they weren't in 6.30pm-Radio-4-land any more. Plus, because of the joy of podcasts, each episode can carry on for as long as it wants to. Lovely.
