I do love The Skewer on #BbcComedy.

If you’ve never heard it, give the latest one a go. Nigel Farage complaining to Coutts was hilarious. It contains swears, just like real life.

BBC radio4 extra are playing the one and only series of Stop Messing About, the failed attempt to keep Around the Horne going after the death of Kenneth Horne. Its utter tosh in many ways, the cast needed Ken to be the foil for the terrible puns and jokes, without him they're just bad jokes.

But what is interesting is some of Kenneth Williams' new characters created for the sketches. In them you can hear the genesis of both Arthur the Caterpillar and Mavis the Fairy.

Enjoyed series 3 of Staged on BBC IPlayer - a great and clever final series. Hilarious, subversive and unpredictable with awesome performances!

The 2023 special of There She Goes is an exceptional piece of television. Not an easy watch at times. Incredible stuff. Well worth catching up with it (and the previous series) on BBC IPlayer.

The latest (13th!) series of Not Going Out is superb. Underrated, I think. Each episode is tightly written and laugh out loud funny. All up on BBC IPlayer - Recommended!

4️⃣ Like many episodes of this sublime mockumentary series, you could easily imagine these characters being spun-off into their own show.

Just watched an episode of "Mandy" (starring Diane Morgan), on BBC Two, where she gets a job down the sewers. And the sewer map in the episode was clearly a #DungeonMap. Note #Hatching and a compass rose. Bizarre!
