In Bradford today for Contains Strong Language Fest with fellow R4 Com Eds Alison (Drama) and Matthew (Arts). Pissing it down all day. Didn’t detract from great live edition of Loose Ends with Edith Bowman as host and a playback of Jeremy Dyson’s new drama with Q&A with Mark Gatiss

Really been enjoying the return of ⁦‪The News Quiz ‬⁩ this series - tonight was another cracker with @zaltzcricket.bsky.social @lucyportercomic.bsky.social ‬⁩ ⁦ @pierrenovellie.bsky.social ‬⁩and Sara Barron - very funny 👏 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Yes, alas Helen is detained in America. Not for criminal reasons but because her day-job at @theatlantic is currently full-on. You will hear from her in this week’s episode, though. Listen out …

Great to attend this Climate Assembly event hosted by @georgemonbiot.bsky.social with a cracking panel of @mikaelaloach.bsky.social @elpinchbeck.bsky.social and Zack Polanski with a blistering wrap up speech from Fergal Sharkey. Heartening to see so many others believe in facts, science and hope 🌈🤓

Brilliant to have this series back on 😃. Quality.

I struggled to reproduce the BBC post from X yesterday, but wanted to get these words here about Bill. Bill has been a huge part of Radio 4 comedy for decades, as a writer and producer, and listeners will have heard his legendary name at the end of many of their favourite shows…

Very well put. We’re all devastated at this news. He was such a talent and a brilliant character and mentor. He cared about such a wide range of issues and subjects. Huge loss, very cruelly taken. His influence remains.

This is exactly what we need today - no better than @evanhd.bsky.social with his calm incisive approach. On BBC Radio 4 shortly and BBC Sounds live 5-6 special programme

This week, P.O.V. has Davina Bentley, Jake Bhardwaj, Kylie Brakeman, Emma Doran, The Exploding Heads, Rachel Fairburn, Matt Green, Charlene Kaye, Tom Lawrinson, and Ed Night & Paddy Young in it. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

New box set from Sunil Patel - hilarious quest to get rich with minimal effort. It played out across the week - brilliantly made by @benjcsutton.bsky.social 😁 👉 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

This was loads of fun; and all/most episodes are available for download on @BBCsounds

Terrific episode. ‘Yes Minister’ one of my favourite shows. Great fun & very informative. wwwbbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Been brilliant to hear the second series of Janey’s show again over this month. Felt like she had so much more to say. Two lovely series here - a masterclass in honest and hilarious storytelling. Also with Ashley - fellow comic and daughter - they are so funny together www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

Another brilliant standup series to share from the puppet community 👉 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

This brilliant one-off deservedly won Gold Best Comedy at the Radio Oscars (The Arias) last year www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Critically acclaimed smash hit satirical sitcom series from @jonathanpienews.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand... - series 2 on its way this year!

Original comedy boxset here set in a radio station in a fictional Yorkshire town where no one’s quite right in the head written by and starring @chriscantrill.bsky.social and @amygledhill.bsky.social plus many other great comic actors www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

I’ve a great boxset to recommend - new comedy word play show on Radio 4 - came out of the blocks flying with Phil Wang and @susiedent.com love it www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...
