Independent Review
Though the format was beyond weak, the writing provided flashes of affectionate Brit wit.
Alice Jones, The Independent, 22nd October 2008Now here's a pun-loaded title if ever I heard one. This is a new introduction to Radio 2's regular Saturday lunchtime Comedy Hour. Sadly, it also sounds like another half-baked attempt to allow the BBC to air some of its comedy archives.
Cool Blue Shed, 18th October 2008Archive comedy clips have never sounded so odd. Alan Carr interweaves segments from the BBC archives with his own fictional escapades. In this first show, he goes on a hen night that somehow ends up involving Les Dawson, Ross Noble, Michael McIntyre, a lamppost and plenty of cling film.
