When is a listing not a listing? When it's a gag...

Let's face it, Radio Times billings are supposed to tell you what a programme is about, who is in it, when it's on, and that kind of useful information. But sometimes, they veer off course...

I'm sorry, today's radio comedy hasn't a clue

This week it was revealed, via a Radio Times poll of experts and insiders, that the "panel show antidote" I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, is the greatest radio comedy of all time. Quite what the show's most regular correspondent, Mrs Trellis of North Wales, would make of it we don't know. Perhaps she might remark on the fact that she has been writing letters to the programme since 1972 and that nothing better has been made in the intervening 48 years.

Isn't the BBC something to be proud of?

I have been adoring Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse's box-fresh series of Gone Fishing, sweeping aside the claustrophobia of 2020 with vast, glittering Scottish rivers and those likeable comedians giggling on the bank. Harry Hill has come back to the BBC after 25 years with Harry Hill's World of TV, a new Sunday night clips show that had me laughing out loud from its opening moment onwards, hosing the gloom away in a fiesta of joyful silliness. And this is just the stuff that old white men have been doing! Not bad, if you think they don't get work any more!
