    Just wondering if anyone can recommend some?


    I'm listening to on the hour, blue jam, knowing me knowing you, lee and herring's fist of fun, the one foot in the grave radio shows and absolute power at the moment.

    Live or recorded shows? If recorded is ok, then see this thread. There's 3.5 days of them.

    Are you podcasting or do you internet radio? If the latter the BBC4 on demand service has plenty on it. Check the listing on www.bbc.co.uk/radio4

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/comedy/lookawaynow.shtml if you like sport and comedy.

    i'm actually on about all time, if they're currently on it'd be great though.

    any kind of comedy once it's good appeals to me... maybe not so much for sketch shows though.

    On the Hour was fantastic.... I must track down some recordings.

    Be sure to check out the original Mighty Boosh radio series if you haven't already.

    Well there are no shows which are always on. Even Weekending (RIP) took time off.

    Down the Line is an excellent spoof phone-in show by Paul Whitehouse, Charlie Higson, Simon Day and the rest. You can get the first two series on CD.

    Saturday Night Fry is one of Stephen Fry's early comedy shows and well worth tracking down.

    People Like Us is basically the TV series, but on the radio, but with more of it, and maybe a bit better.

    There's a complete (as in, all the Lee & Herring stuff and everything) CD set coming out soon, apparently.

    definitely gonna check out down the line, that cast looks great.

    saturday night fry annoys me a bit cos of hugh laurie's non-house md accent.

    i see people like us has chris langham in it, the thick of it is possibly my favourite sitcom ever(if it had lasted any longer).
