Pls recommend me some gentle radio comedy

[AlbertCampion]

I'm looking for gentle radio sitcoms / comedy dramas to lull me to sleep at night. I absolutely love:
In and Out of the Kitchen
Cabin Pressure
About Henry
Conversations from a Long Marriage
All the Charles Paris adaptations with Bill Nighy
To The Manor Born

Slightly darker, but I also enjoy:
The John Moffat Hercule Poirots
Pilgrim
Love in Recovery

I quite enjoyed Clare in the Community but am generally not a fan of audience laughter in my comedy - I prefer to be immersed! I don't mind a podcast (I listen to Fortunately... occasionally) but I really prefer fiction.

Can anyone recommend anything for me to listen to, please? I have Audible as well as BBC Sounds.

I really like The Wilsons Save The World with Marcus Brigstock and Kerry Godliman being parents who really try to be eco-friendly but keep being called out by their kids pointing out all the ways in which they’re being hypocrites. Also All These Women which I think is by Katherine Jakeways and has Leslie Manville playing a woman who’s marriage breaks up and for various reasons she ends up living with her adult daughter, granddaughter and mother.

The Go-Betweenies is also good - about divorced parents and their kids who spend half the week with each of them (funnier than it sounds!) In the early series the dad is played by David Tennant.

Not for last thing at night, but I really really loved the Lovecraft Investigations series - The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward, The Whisperer In Darkness and The Shadow Over Innsmouth. They are really creepy though (or I’m a wimp - also entirely possible.)

@AlbertCampion yep, we found the Count Arthur radio programme far funnier than the telly series. Happy listening!

Ladies of Letters was rather lovely.

Just popping in again to say another thank you - tried some How Does That Make You Feel today and loved it. I now have so many lovely things to listen to!

Late to this but would recommend:

Plum House
Ability
Ed Reardon’s Week
Shush!
Jack and Millie
Reincar-Nathan
Gloomsbury
No Commitments
Start. Stop.

Not a sitcom or drama but David Sedaris is a good listen. Find him on YouTube. He was on the radio 4 6.30 comedy slot.

Came on to recommend Conversations from a Long Marriage, Cabin Fever and Charles Parriss but you’ve been there 😁
Have you tried Boswell’s Lives with Miles Jupp ?
Think you may enjoy it.
Holding Back the Tide with Ronald Pickup (RIP) is worth a listen too.
Not exactly “gentle” but The Battersea Poltergeist is well done,

Second that. David Sedaris is an exceptional one off.

I see Tom Wrigglesworth's Hang-Ups has been recommended twice. DD(10) enjoys listening with me.

I do love a bit of Sedaris.

I keep popping in to check new recommendations - thank you so much! I love No Commitments and hate having to wait for a new episode each week. I am a big Simon Brett fan.

I like Sedaris as a writer I think, so will look up his YouTube stuff - thank you!

And thank you for the Miles Jupp recommendation. I love him sooooo much and snaffle up anything I can find with him in. We had tickets for A Comedy of Errors at the RSC with him and Justin Edwards and I am so gutted that we never got to go because of Covid.

Final question - I keep getting tempted by The Battersea Poltergeist, but is it scary? I have even had to stop listening to Pilgrim at night because I am such a wuss.

Right... am off to listen to more of Old Harry's Game.

Party by Tom Basden is brilliant.

No, Battersea Poltergeist isn’t scary because the docu-drama is punctuated with analysis and experiments from academics. I’m a bit of a wuss too but finding it quite compelling.
