Dog Dazed Afternoon

Dog Dazed Afternoon combines high production standards with pleasant comedy. In fact, it turns out to be something of a story for our credit-crunch times, following two unemployed, socially awkward 20-somethings through their ill-fated dog-walking business. It's an agreeable play in the age-old comedy shorthand of "all men are idiots and it's only women who can save the day".

I was more underwhelmed than stunned with Dog Dazed Afternoon, the play on Radio 4 that took as its conceit the life of a bunch of misfits centred on a canine animal of dubious description. The hour washed over me, but left no lasting impression.
