After the recent collection of disastrously unfunny new comedy it is a relief to see Week Ending (Friday, Radio 4) returning. The Burkiss Way had its adherents, and I even met a man who smiled at Radio Burps but The Chronicles of The Soppy Family was plain awful. Do you remember that classic Charles Addams cartoon of the solitary man in the audience chuckling happily away as all around wept and hid their faces? He must be somewhere in Broadcasting House these days.
