Radio Times review

Inspired by the Old Jews Telling Jokes franchise, this no-frills parade of gags has so far delighted us with the amateur stylings of various vicars, Scousers and boffins. Now it's the turn of some football managers, in this one-off edition for Sport Relief.

Framed against a plain background, they rattle through their repertoires of zingers and groaners as the production crew laugh spontaneously off-camera. Some of them seem slightly self-conscious, but that merely adds to the charm.

Highlights include former West Ham manager Alan Curbishley's quick-fire pun about a sleepwalking nun, and a shaggy dog story from Luton Town's John Still that suggests he won't be invited to Buckingham Palace any time soon.
