Michael Hogan & Ralph Jones, The Guardian, 22nd July 2018Review: Joe Lycett's Obsessions
Joe Lycett's Obsessions presents two initial challenges. The first is to capture the distinctive charm of Joe Lycett. The other is to present it in a form that fits Radio 4 at 6.30pm. On late-night BBC TV, he is shockingly frank, eventually endearing. On Radio 4, without the freedom to push the boundaries of vocabulary and sexual reference, in a format that limits him to the role of gameshow host, he just sounds sad. Put him on later and let him roam free.
