A bumbling retired entertainer shows us just how comedy should be done. Count Arthur Strong so outperforms the rest of Radio 4's comedy output that it sounds as if it's doing a little victory jig on the roof of Broadcasting House.

Tomorrow, Today! is set in a BBC recording studio in 1962, where a cluster of disappointed hacks labour through a terrible sci-fi script and try not to kill each other in the process.
