Living with Mother (Radio 4, 11.15pm) brings more four comic gems about sons who don't leave home (a subject once dear to my heart and probably many another). Meet Marlon (Mark Gatiss) who has entered a talent contest. Helen, his mother, (Susan Jameson) warns him. But does he listen? It's by Alex Kirk, whom I strongly suspect of canny eavesdropping around our house in recent years.
