New John Finnemore's Double Acts

[VittysCardigan]

Tonight R4 6.30

Brilliant! Thank you! Loved the last series so much. Especially the train one, he's a very clever writer.

Fab! He's so funny.

Thanks for this, have added it to my favourites on the radio iPlayer

Great! Thanks for posting.

The one tonight is channelling aspects of my mother. Really quite spooky!

I loved that. I liked last week's too, but this one just has the edge.

Ooh thanks for the heads up, I hadn't realised it was back!

SeanSpicer, I'm surprised you've got time what with your busy schedule at the White House!

It's my happy place. When it all gets too much I hide in the cupboard and listen to R4 comedies. And chew gum.

Anyone know what happened to last week's episode?

No, but I assume it was considered inappropriate because of the Grenfell Tower disaster. JF has said on Twitter it will be broadcast later on, but hasn't elaborated why.

Did enjoy last night's. Una Stubbs is so wonderful. I notice he put in a Sherlock Holmes reference again, as he did in Cabin Pressure after BC had become a megastar.

I'm afraid the new series isn't doing it for me. It isn't as good as the last one, IMO.

There seems to be a lot of gabbling at high speed. Is it an in-joke amongst the luvvies to see who can do the best JF impression? Or is the script paid per word?

Something has got in the way of me listening to these properly so far.

Loved the last few.

Penguin Diplomacy was very funny.

Agreed. Might listen again to all of them while I can. I see from Twitter that there's one coming up with JF himself and Michael Palin!

Penguin Diplomacy was a bit difficult to follow for me - or maybe I was multitasking and not really paying attention!

I've just listened to the episode going to Winchester, I thought it was brilliant, so well observed. Like Gasp0de it reminded me of my mother (who was a Sue).

Penguin Diplomacy was the funniest thing he's written in ages.

I'd say that about tonight's.

Loved this evening's. Particularly the 'third quartile of popularity'.
