I got into it late and heard a couple of episodes on the radiogramme. Following that I went out and bought three series worth on CD. Just checking I think I need to see if series 5 is on CD yet.

I've listened to it once or twice ...took me a while to realise it wasn't actually a real phone in

Never heard of it so I went to YouTube .

It's as funny as the toothache.

I had a friend who told me about it, Baz, so I was forewarned otherwise I'd probably have thought it was genuine, too.

 I do enjoy a bit of satire!

I didn't know they were on CD.  Might give them a go!

Here is an idea of what you can get, also available on download.

Thanks Madame Arcati. I love Paul Whitehouse so will listen out for it on Tuesdays.

I hope you enjoy it, Roger.

Thanks for the Amazon information, EC.   Does your radiogramme have a turntable on it, by the way?

I'm afraid not. 

Do you mean an old fashioned radio made of wood,it  has two knobs that you twirl to get the station and it has a red line.?

'The News Quiz' is also well worth a listen - it's on R4 on Friday evenings at 6.30.  It's also on Saturday lunch-time but not sure what time.

If you like Have I Got News for You then you'll like this, I think
