Press
This is a first-rate sketch show lampooning the mysteries of modern communication. I discovered this last by accident and recommend it heartily. The standard of both material and performance is high and the production (by Ed Morrish) is pin sharp. The only hazard of listening (but a nice one) is that it goes out just before Today in Parliament and so makes that sound unexpectedly hilarious.
