I'm addicted to Radio 4 Extra. There are a lot of things that have appeared on there which end up on YouTube, so if I find something I like on R4 Extra I go off and look for more elsewhere.

Yes, I’ve started listening to R4 Extra more as I find R4 a total misery-fest. Caught Clare in the Community last night. Hilarious.

Have you heard All Gas and Gaiters. Another fantastic comedy.

I was so cross when Clare in the Community came out as, being an ex social worker, I had been thinking for years that I might write something similar .... they beat me to it! Grrr!

Radio 4Extra is pretty much the only station I listen to these days. It is a life saver during periods of insomnia.

Some of the newer Radio 4 comedy is starting to filter through now though and it's just not - funny.

Old Harry's Game is my favourite. I got all the series as one 'book' on Audible and listen to it on repeat.

Next time they run Cabin Pressure do listen, it's a little gem.

KnittedFerret · 11/01/2026 14:37

Cabin Pressure is brilliant!

Miranda65 · 11/01/2026 14:46

The comedy is very hit and miss, but the good stuff includes:
Fags, Mags and Bags
Mark Steel's In Town
I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue
Just A Minute
Scenes From A Long Marriage (think that's the correct title)
Cabin Pressure (obviously)
Old Harry's Game

just listened to a just rediscovered interview with Kenny Everett.
I so enjoyed listening to Kenny Everett back in the 1990s
