Can I make a confession, here?
Can I?
I’ve got to admit, I’m something of a fan of Radio 4; the BBC’s older talk radio station.
Usually, it’s got something interesting on the go; all the way from Woman’s Hour to Book at Bedtime via the various documentaries, and taking in The Today Show and The Archers.
But one gem has always been — for me — the riot that is I’m Sorry, I Haven’t a Clue; usually described as “… the antidote to panel games.”
Now, I’ve mentioned this before, I know.
Most recently, after the death of its original chair, the late Humphrey Lyttleton.
Late …
And much missed …
But, after Series 51’s trio of presenters, this summer, Series 52 sees Jack Dee take the reins.
And, although I missed last last weeks opening episode, I’m sitting here listening to tonight’s episode.
Again!
Mostly because, with Jack Dee presenting, and Rob Brydon, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer and Graeme Garden managed to play a superb game of Mornington Crescent.

Open Variation Southwark Method, bloody tricky, that one* … !

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
