Evening all.

This slot is usually some sort of comedy, Sorry I Haven't A Clue, Just a Minute or previously things like Cabin Pressure, Dead Ringers etc.

Tonight's offering is (so far, episode 1, admittedly) nowhere near even remotely amusing.

Set in an Alcoholics Anonymous group hmm

Yes, it has been running for a few weeks.I turn it off as soon as it comes on. It is neither amusing or thoughtful. Mind you that could be applied to much of what the BBC put in that slot. You named two of the good ones and two good ones no longer made. To which I would add The News Quiz, The Unbelievable Truth and (sometimes) the Now Show, but they never do more than 2 of those at once, so most days the 6.30 programme is the leap up and turn off slot.

I think Cabin Pressure is the funniest show ever on Radio 4

That slot is intriguing - it is either brilliant or absolute bollocks!

M0nica just checked the Radio Times and it says this was episode 2 , I must have missed the one last week somehow, usually listening while cooking.

Ilovecheese Cabin Pressure was of course written by and starred John Finnimore, his Radio 4 "Souvenir Programme" , also in the 6.30 slot was a joy!
