BBC Radio 4 confirms 35 comedy commissions
Radio 4 has revealed details of 35 separate comedy commissions, ranging from returning shows to new series, previous pilots and brand new stand-up.
British Comedy Guide, 17th August 2017The team captains are Lee Mack and John Thomson. The funny voices are provided by Alistair McGowan and Ronni Ancona. The name of the presenter is in the title. The script uses the words "bessie" for best friend and "snog" for kiss. All of which leads me to wonder if this pilot of Gaby's Talking Pictures was originally done for Radio 2 and not Radio 4. It feels just a bit too breezy for the latter. Gaby Roslin's quiz is ostensibly about film but, if I were writing the proposal, I would say the accent is on humour. The problem with humour on quizshows is that it only shows through after many episodes. Will this get that chance?
