The Odd Half Hour

New sketch show. First they talk about the Depression and what effects it's having everywhere, like this team having to share a dressing room with Front Row, with "Mark Lawson's clown suit" hanging over a chair. As the show progresses many idiocies are covered: bank rescue; rebranding; social work ("a lot of the elderly are quite racist," so recruits have to be trained in how to be racist without crossing the line into the "unacceptable"). An Englishman, an Irishman, a woman and a black man provide a curiously traditional comic cast line-up.
