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.

I love it when someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
