Just isn’t funny. I’ve been listening to his show for a few weeks now and just find him more than anything irritating. His type of humour just doesn’t quite fit the station; he’d be rather more at home on Radio 2. But then I guess this is the summer known as a place to fill the schedule rather than do anything special.
On a slightly different note, I was listening to Feedback on Sunday night. Somebody asked about the reason behind the shorter run of I’m sorry I haven’t a clue. I was expecting a response along the lines of “Well the guys are just getting old and find it hard”. But no, it’s all about “other commitments” the teams have. Shame. As “Quote, unquote” has a run of around 12 programmes we only get 6 per series of I’m sorry I haven’t a clue.
no, joe, it’s not just you, it’s countless others like you who have nothing better to do than moan about stuff that in the grand scheme of things mean about as much as you. But there’re countless others again who like my work, and to be honest so what? Try to relax, mate. If you want to write letters U Win Tin is in gaol in Mayanmar for no particular reason, you could write to them and ask if he could be let out. I’m glad I irritate you. It’s wot I was born to do you pointless, thoughtless, talentless wanker.
sincere regards,

As it happens I agree with you here. I love Radio 4 comedy on the whole- some of it is utterly brilliant (the Boosch, the Consultants, Dead Ringers) but like you I feel that Boothby Graffoe has more of a “radio 2″ feel about his humour. I didn’t find his reply to you very funny either.
