Schedule Friday 23rd February 2007

Serious About Comedy

Robin Ince and a range of guests examine and review the week's comedy output.

Inspector Steine

Steine falls in love for the very first time when he bumps into Adelaide Vine, the beautiful owner of a fish and chip shop in Oriental Place. But is there more to Adelaide than meets the eye? Brunswick thinks so.

ChuckleVision

Paul and Barry are tasked with decorating a huge ocean liner. Scaling the ship isn't a problem, but painting it is - especially when most of their supply ends up over the Captain!

Oneira

Oneira ends up talking to herself, literally, and finds her other self very rude.

The News Quiz

Clive Anderson makes a guest appearance as chairman (Sandi has flu) and is joined by panellists Alan Coren, Jeremy Hardy, Andy Hamilton and Fred MacAulay, for a tongue-in-cheek examination of the week's news. Corrie Corfield reads out a selection of cuttings.

After You've Gone

Jimmy feels threatened when his ex-wife's new boyfriend visits.

The Grumpy Guide To...

A grumpy guide to fashion. Our mission - to arm you with enough information about Chanel, Dior and ready-to-wear to hold your own amongst the luvviest luvvies on earth - should you want to.

Best Of Chewin' The Fat

Sink your teeth into more of the very best sketches compiled from the original Chewin' The Fat series and Hogmanay specials.

Comedy Connections

Series charting the history of the best of British comedy looks at 1980s romantic sitcom Just Good Friends, which starred Jan Francis and Paul Nicholas.

It reveals that writer John Sullivan had to fight to get the cast he wanted for the show - BBC bosses weren't convinced that Nicholas was the right man to play loveable rogue Vince, and Francis herself wasn't sure about taking on a comedy role as she wanted to be seen as a serious actress.
