I listened to the On the Hour Christmas special on BBC7 on Tuesday night and it was excellent. Alan Partridge was especially good. Aha!

BBC7 generally has a week's worth of 'listen again' episodes of such programmes.

wasn't this site taken down a while back (is that what the "welcome back" is slyly referring to)? anyone know what happened (was it the brass eye paedophile stuff)? (that it's back is news to me, although the site itself might be a double post, if you see what i mean. anyway, thanks!)

punilux - Thank you, thank you, thank you for that link. I will now be unable to sleep until that series is shown! Can't wait.

nthdegx - Great post. A timely reminder of one of the funniest things on radio. Ever. I'd better get downloading.

Wow, a torrent of this would be really useful.

Is this the theme to the Nathan Barley series? Boomselection.info seems to think so.

nthdegx - Why the ridiculously sloppy, multiple-needless-line-break FPP? Remember: "If something is worth saying, it's worth saying properly."

I'll one up ya, soyjoy: I'm inviting nthdegx to his own MeTa thread on bad formatting of FPPs.
