The Castle is and has always been weak.
Count Arthur, however, is a genius, and I’ll bite, er, I mean file, I MEAN FIGHT any one who says otherwise. Yes, if your at the bar then, go on….
Ed Reardon is as wonderful as usual, but I’m a little upset that the actor that usually plays Elgar has been replaced. Do they not think we’ll notice? Who the hell are these ‘BBC Comedy Controllers’?
The writing is nowhere near as good as say, Tenko, anyway.
The News Quiz is tired, smug and predictable and even I as an old romantic leftie find the Now Show smug amd patronising in the extreme.
The Party, that awful thing about a bunch of halfwits attempting to start their own version of the Lib Dems was dire. Badly written & weak characters (go on, name one).
A Short Gentleman (11.30am slot) was excellent, but only a return of the utterly brilliant Fags, Mags and Bags can redeem R4 comedy.
Just a Minute is wonderful, btw.
