I just learned on Chortle that Harry & Paul is being given a third series, but it has been demoted to BBC Two because of poor ratings and it will get rid of their studio audience.

Not sure it'll work as well without a studio audience. Whitehouse and Enfield are best bouncing off an audience. And this will be the first series with Geoffrey Perkins, which is worrying.

Don't really see why anybody would view this as a relegation as such.
BBC2 has always been more of a fertile ground for that kind of comedy. Although, having said that, it's a shame they don't feel it to be a suitable show for BBC1, given the lack of any decent comedy on the channel.
As least there will be another series. Still no word on a new Stewart Lee series yet.

Actually Perkins only produced the second of the two series so far. The first was produced by Phil Bowker. (See Harry & Paul - Production Details, Plus Regular Cast and Crew)

I thought the second series was better, though. Stronger. And messing about with it to the extent of ditching the studio audience seems a bad move.
(And nice to see your still alive, Ian - I don't see you as much with the tragic demise of the "Current radio comedy" thread!)

Oh I'm still alive and kicking. At the moment I'm waiting for a feature article I've written to get posted online, and I'm in the middle of preparing to do an interview for the guide. I'm hoping to interview Ben Moor about Undone.

This post is off-topic.Because that would have taken more effort than one click, and I didn't imagine that there would be any confusion! Gah!
