Stallion Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I love Just A Minute, I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, The News Quiz and The Now Show. Looking about the comedy on the BBC website I came across a crime series thats very tongue in cheek called Boxer and Doberman. Apparently it got taken off the air because folks tuned into it expecting a proper crime drama when it was meant as a comedy. Â I started to listen to something called Planet B, which was a series about a guy getting trapped in a Second Life style internet world. The first series was good, but it started to fall apart for me after that as they kept changing the voice actors of the main characters and the scenarios were a bit shit. Â Local radio, theres a guy named Alan Robson who does a late night phone in show called Nightowls. I used to listen to him years ago although it seems he's still going. The caller I caught wasnt great and if they were a representation of the calls he gets now I'm surprised he still has the show. Â Also locally, we had the Three Legends who I think have been let go now. I used to enjoy some of that driving back from work, but there was always a bloke on from hartlepool (frank or something) who just talked utter shite on the exact time I was driving home on a friday. It used to piss me right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for the Friday Night Comedy podcast to come back this week. It's been off for ages and the Comedy of the Week's not been as good lately either. I love The News Quiz especially. I think Sandy Torksvig and Jeremy Hardy are brilliant. I keep listening to the one from July 26th when they're talking about the porn filter and hairlessness in porn. It's very funny. Â I mentioned the other day in another thread that I'm currently obesessed with Cabin Pressure. I'd love it if they made more episodes of that too.

Cobra1000 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) There is a cool sounding Doc on Orson Welles War of the Worlds tonight at 8pm if anyone is interested in that sort of thing on BBC Radio 4.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 27, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 27, 2016 Ugh, I was listening to talkSHITE tonight (as I do for about 16 hours a day, glutton for punishment) and I was listening to my east favourite show on all of the station. And when you consider the only programme I like is Danny kelly's My Sporting Life, it's quite the very shit show.  It's "The Two Mikes", featuring Mike Graham and Chester cockend Mike Parry. Mike Parry ois such a fucking dick. I hate him. The format is this "Mike pretends to not know something/Mike mispronounces something with HILARIOUS CONSEQUENCES then pretends he said it correctly when corrected "That's what I said!"/Mike sings song with incorrect lyrics. It's on for fucking hours too from 1am. They actually do a theatre tour acting like they do on the radio as well. it'sw awful.  Talksport is awful. I don't know why I always listen to it. I think I must hate myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Colin Murray's alright. 10-1, usually has a good guest for Murray Meets and is far more palatable than the usual "whey I'm a big Cockney rebel and I'm gonna say Arsenal are terrible to get a reaction" Adrian Durham and pretenders that populate the rest of their airwaves. Â There's definitely a reason they call it talkSHITE, mind. As far as why you listen, I'd bet it's the same reason I do: it's awful, but it's about something you like, sport, so you tolerate the awfulness in case they accidentally reveal something you didn't know before.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 27, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 27, 2016 Other idiots - Andy Goldstein and Jason Cundy. Â Goldstein's the typical cockerneeee ManYoo supporter and his presenter profile is smug and even has some nepotism thrown in for good measure, and Jason Cundy is like fellow Chelsea fan Jim Lovetoy, only he used to play the game. He literally knows nothing about football out of Chelsea, and doesn't even pretend to care about it either. Talksport? More like TalkBigFour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Agreed. They're truly horrific, with their whole "WHEEYYY SPOWTS BAHR ME OL' MUCKA" schtick. It's the Daily Mail Sport version of a radio station - you don't like it or agree with their opinions, and you know there's more worthwhile stuff elsewhere, but it is sport in a way.

He literally knows nothing about football out of Chelsea, and doesn't even pretend to care about it either. Talksport? More like TalkBigFour  When I first started listening to Talk Sport, they had an advert for Goldstein's and Cundy's Sports Bar that I assumed was a piss take (this was until I realised all of the adverts sounded like this).  It consisted of a bunch of crashing sounds, with Goldstein and Cundy taking it in turns to make noises that I can best describe as a cross between Phil Daniels at the start of Parklife when he goes "OOOOOOOOIIIIII eurrrrg, nobbbbs" and the sound that the voiceover man off Bullseye made when saying "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNN SIX!".  Cundy is legitimately one of the thickest people I have ever heard on the radio though (and this is coming from a Chelsea fan). Not even in an Adrian Durham, heat baiting, kind of way. He's just a complete and irredeemable moron.  Yeah, I don't really know why I subject myself to Talksport either. As Daaaaaad! said, the only one I vaguely like is Colin Murray and I'm working (sans radio) whenever he is on. I end up with 'Alan Brazil's BIG BANTER BREAKFAST!', Durham making statements like 'Newcastle fans. You should be thankful Joe Kinnear came back to your club. He had a great record' (I think this actually happened). Or an evening with eveybodies favourite thin skinned, dogging, wife-beater, Stan Collymore.

Mr_Danger Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I've never forgiven Collymore for proclaiming that Mascherano was a good player but not up to the very top standard like Essien or Makalele but he was in Obi Mikel's league. Of all the heinous things his various mental conditions has lead him to do, this is by far the worse. Â Jason Cundy is awful though as is Alan 'whiskey on his cornflakes' Brazil. I don't know why I listen either, it sure as hell ain't the adverts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbacon85 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Doesn't Barry Glendenning co host a show on Talk Sport? Surely that's worth a listen (says he who has never listened) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenryck Pilchards Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Doesn't Barry Glendenning co host a show on Talk Sport? Surely that's worth a listen (says he who has never listened) Â Indeed he does. He is the co-host with another ex Soccer AM gobshite Max Rushden on the Sunday Warm-up between 10am and 1pm. It isn't a bad show and has a couple of funny recurring features like Footballers are Nice where they ask a different footballer each week what type of pants they wear and how many toilets do they have, Another is Ian Culverhouse which is not to dissimilar to Mornington Crescent.
