There are those who hate the relentlessly childish, pun-driven comedic style of Milton Jones. But open your mind - or, if you wish, take it out and place it on the table - and the bloke has something going for him. You are practically guaranteed to laugh rather more than once, however hard you try not to, as in this latest four-part series Jones imagines himself as a star photographer, a barrister, an explorer and a jockey in a series of hopelessly puerile adventures. And when you've done, consider this - what does the Jones style of comedy most remind you of? That's right - the Goons.

Now here comes autumn, with Another Case of Milton Jones on Thursdays to prove again that Radio 4 can make you stony-faced quicker than botox. Milton Jones is described in the Radio Times as 'the Perrier Award-winning king of the one-liners'. Maybe the Perrier judges that year were all aged 11.

Jones's jokes are of the variety that might appeal to little Chesney on Coronation Street, the red-haired child whose japes include putting soot on the eye pieces of binoculars.

Most of Jones's revolve around word confusion ('under budget' turns into 'under Budgens' which, in a sketch about architecture, leads to a project ending up beneath a grocery shop), or word association - for example, 'Brazil' leads to 'nut' and 'nut' leads to 'madness'. If by this time you'll accept an eighth of a laugh, or even a sixteenth, Milton (and his adroit tape editor) eventually came up with the goods in a sketch about running a sweet shop for the stars, in which George Michael asked for a Wispa, Chuck Berry a Rolo, Whitney Houston for a Yorkie and Elvis Costello said it was a good year for the Roses.
