I'm sorry, today's radio comedy hasn't a clue
This week it was revealed, via a Radio Times poll of experts and insiders, that the "panel show antidote" I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, is the greatest radio comedy of all time.

Perhaps she might remark on the fact that she has been writing letters to the programme since 1972 and that nothing better has been made in the intervening 48 years.
