The News at Bedtime

[RogerM]

Anyone listening to this? 11:15pm on Wednesday evenings with Jack Dee and Peter Capaldi, and written by Ian Hislop. Clever hilarious stuff. Just 15 mins of intelligent comedy without relying on shock tactics or tedious foul language and with no laughter track. Listen again here. Fast forward to the start at about 1:30.

Thanks Roger.

It does rely on a single joke though. I listened to it on first transmission, and after a couple of episodes I thought they'd pretty much much worked the idea into the ground.

Still, that's still 30 minutes more decent entertainment than most, so 7/10.
