The Now Show is back - weehee!

[sammywol]

My Radio 4 addiction of choice is back serving up new episodes of The Now Show and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. Oh god I needed a laugh. Not only has the kitchen come home to roost this week but the builder has decided he wants paying this week and the roofers on Monday fancied cash. I think the bank thinks I am being blackmailed.

The Now Show's back?

Hoorah!

[sammywol]

Yay! Fellow addict. nobody else round here knows who I am going on about although I do try and drum the podcast up some business. (Mr Wol saves them on I-tunes for me.)

[shapinglight]

I love that show. Also, it seems to be the only place where you still get Punt and Dennis as a duo.

[sammywol]

Yes. I miss them. I remember when they were 'Steve and Hugh' on the Rory Bremner Show and, counter to popular wisdom, liked them the best of the two duos in the ,i>Mary Whitehouse Experience..

Did you hear last week's
ISIHAC? Jack Dee going down to the archives in the Old Vic to check the original rules of Mornington Crescent was priceless, though Mrs Trellis was off-form slightly, I felt.

I prefer
The News Quiz to
The Now Show slightly, but as long as one or the other is on I'm a happy bunny.

I must have missed last week's. I tend to catch them on Listen Again as, annoyingly, they do not podcast ISIHAC. I love the News Quiz too but tend to find it slightly gentler comedy and with fewer belly laughs than I get from TNS. Cannot get my head round the new kid on the Friday Night Block (whose name escapes me as it is just listed in my I-tunes as 'IGTWTCITN').

Argh -- I forgot last week's ISIHAC! But yes, another subscriber to the podcasts of Friday night comedy here

Must make an interesting News Digest for a USA resident. Perhaps akin to my keeping abreast of the US scene by watching Jon Stewart?

I do like the Now Show (and the News Quiz); I always listen on my way to my Mum's on a Saturday.

But I haven't a Now Show icon - so you'll just have to ogle Russell instead.

(And imagine him with a serious expression and longer hair...)

[sammywol]

It is all Russell's fault that I imagine Rumil as having periodic attacks of leg cramp and a really good 'creepy alien' face.

Not to mention that he had one nipple bigger than the other when he was a pubescent elfling and a habit of stuffing marbles up Orophin's bum to see if he would turn into a wizard...

[sammywol]

a habit of stuffing marbles up Orophin's bum to see if he would turn into a wizard *!?!* BWAHAHAHAaaaaaa! I do hope there is an entry on that in that gondorian tome on the ways of Elves. *snerk!*
