'Samantha's just off to meet her new gentleman friend. He'd just bought an orchard and he's hoping to be big in cider.'

"Samantha went along to the gramaphone library earlier to collect the teams' records. It's pitch black down there, so Samantha and the elderly archivist have taken to searching the shelves by candle light, which can be messy, so while Samantha passes down the discs, the nice man holds the ladder while he cleans the dust and wax off in the dark."

Plus...he wrote The Beatles' 'Lady Madonna'.

(They ripped off the piano riff from one of his singles. That's not a critcism, btw: 'A plagiarist copies, a genius steals' - Andre Gide)

Matholwch - Brythonic Tribal Polytheist

I have been inconsolable for the last three weeks.

My wife, who is a decade younger than I and thinks a radio is only for the car, cannot understand why I have placed a black lace cloth over the wireless in the kitchen (where I am regularly banished to listen to my 'odd little programs').

Although I will miss the show, and most of all Humph, I genuinely hope that they do not simply replace him, even with someone as venerable as Barry Cryer.

Time for the BBC to release a boxed CD set of some of the best episodes (two or three hundred would be sufficient).

Perhaps they can fill the slot on R4 with reruns of Old Harry's Game...


Nooooooo!!!!!

Nah. The show has to end. I hope they don't try someone like Stephen Fry. But I find Old Harry a little patchy. I prefer 'Claire in the Community'.

Welcome back, Math - despite all*.
