Radio comedy shows

Also I loved I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, especially when Humphrey Lyttleton was chairman. Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer, Graham Garden and the late Willie Rushton were the best panel imo .

Re: Radio comedy shows

I couldn't see a subforum for radio, so I'll just pop a thread here.

I wonder if anyone remembers these radio comedies I used to listen to sometimes (or my parents did):

Radio Active
The Grumbleweeds
Bernie Clifton's Comedy Shop
Weekending (This had the intro to "Party Fears Two" by the Associates as its theme tune.)

There was a sketch show whose name I've forgotten. It was on Radio 4, and it had Nick Revell and Any Hamilton. Any ideas?

I think it was The Million Pound Radio Show.

I remember the ones on your list. Some get repeated on BBC Radio 4 Extra from time to time.

I used to like The News Huddlines, with Roy Hudd, which ran on Radio 2 for many years. Going back further, Round the Horne with its brilliant double entendres and innuendo, quite daring for its day, particularly Julian and Sandy.
