Well................the first 4 minutes on Listen again was great..Honest.
It was the news,Bobbi Prior with travel then a Wogan promo.
Then sadly it went downhill.
Some Cockney comedian who was dire.
Then some bloke reading poems again dire then Sylvia Fox doing impressions of TV Celebs.

One of those voices that make your teeth grate!!!!!
Well just her talking pretending to be celebs.
How on Earth the Trading Standards people have not been in touch with them for saying it is Comedy is beyond me.
I got to 9 minutes before i had to end it.

Please Lesley Douglas NO MORE.

I listened to 45 minutes of last week's while on a drive. I would say about 30% was reasonably funny, but the rest was terrible.

There was even a character who ripped-off Marcus Brigstocke's Giles Wemmbley-Hogg. It's bad enough to nick a joke, but a whole character! It just shows how desperate and barrel-scraping the Out To Lunch performers are.

The real worry is that la Douglas seems to rate this terrible interminable series!

I've just heard that Andrew Collins is back with The Day The Music Died. Isn't that a bit better?

Yes, but then so is repeatedly staple-gunning nine inch nails into ones forehead whilst dancing the cha-cha on molten lava.

Maybe it could be renamed "The Day The Comedy Died".... Rolling Eyes

I'll take your word for that! Are you speaking from experience?! Shocked

I'm wary about the new series of TDTMD as Robin Ince has left the team, and I'm not sure who's replaced him. But anything's better than Out To Lunch!
