Radio Sitcom/Sketch Shower

(Denna sida kommer att fixas inom kort. Den skadades under flytten från tidigare webbhotell.)

En av mina största nöjen när jag pendlar eller vill slappna av är att lyssna på Engelska BBC Radio 4 radio sitcom eller sketch-shower. Problemet med dessa är att det ofta inte är lätt att hitta dom bästa, samt att det kan bli svårt att ladda ned dom från Internet.

I ”samarbete” med Archive.org så har jag listat några av dom roligaste och mest underhållande radio shower som jag lyckats leta fram, om du också vill prova på detta fantastiskt underhållande medium. För att underlätta så har jag länkat till Archive.org sidorna redan. Det enda du behöver göra är att scrolla ned och välja i vilket format du vill ladda ned showen i. Normalt sett är detta MP3, då det fungerar på samtliga plattformar.

Om du använder en Android telefon så rekommenderar jag Smart Audiobook Player, vilket IMHO är den bästa spelaren för Android plattformen. Om du använder Apple iOS så anser jag att den bästa ljudboks-spelaren är, och förblir, MP3 Audiobook Player.

Låt oss börja titta på listan MED inbördes ordning. Jag listar dom jag tycker är bäst först, dock är alla riktigt bra och värda att lyssna på.


The Brig Society
Uh oh – Marcus Brigstocke has been put in charge… of a thing! Each week, it turns out that Marcus is now in charge of a big old thing – a hospital, the railways, British Fashion, the UK Space Programme, as some examples – and through the medium of stand-up, sketches and not interpretative dance, he starts out by thinking ”Well, it can’t be that difficult, surely?” and ends up with ”Oh – it’s utterly difficult and I’ve made
a complete fist of it…”

John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme
John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme is a sketch comedy series broadcast on BBC Radio 4. Finnemore is the sole writer and performs with Margaret Cabourn-Smith, Simon Kane, Lawry Lewin and Carrie Quinlan.

The Castle (Säsong 1, 2, 3, 4)
A BBC Radio comedy series ”set in the filth, grime, stench and brutality of the Middle Ages, with some very nice music” that looks at medieval life from a unique 21st-century comedy perspective.

Elven Quest
Sam Porter is a misanthropic fantasy novelist whose best friend is his pet dog Amis. While at a book signing in Totnes High Street, three people, whom Sam presumes are hard-core fantasy fans dressed in full costume, kidnap Amis. Sam fights them and during the fight, both Sam and Amis end up in an actual fantasy world – Lower Earth.

Bleak Expectations
BBC Radio 4 sitcom by Mark Evans broadcast in 30 episodes from 2007 to 2012. A spoof of Charles Dickens’ novels and other well-known works, set in the Victorian world of ludicrously elaborate etiquette and unhelpful new inventions. Rollicking good fun performed with great gusto by Tom Allen, Anthony Head, Sarah Hadland, Celia Imrie, David Mitchell and others.

The Museum Of Everything
BBC Radio 4 comedy sketch show broadcast from 2004 to 2006 in 18 episodes written and performed by Marcus Brigstocke, Danny Robins & Dan Tetsell. It is set in the ”Museum of Everything”, an apparently infinite space housing exhibitions as diverse as The History of Stairs and the Greek Buttock Gallery, as well as an inescapable gift shop.

That Mitchell and Webb sound

John Finnemore’s Double Acts
The writer and star of the multi-award winning sketch show John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme and the sitcom Cabin Pressure writes these standalone half-hour comedies. Each one is a self-contained story, with its own cast, and all strictly adhere to the overarching theme of ’ideas John has had for this series’. They range from hot-desking office workers attempting to conduct a romance at the rate of four minutes a day to a band of explorers beginning to wonder if they’ll ever reach Australia’s Great Inland Sea.

Little Britain

The Lee Mack Show
This BBC radio comedy show was broadcast in two series, of 6 episodes each, plus a Christmas special and a New Year special, from 2005 to 2007. A manic mixture of sketches and stand-up wherein Lee is supported by comedians such as Milton Jones, Mark Watson and Rhod Gilbert, plus music from a stellar array of guests (including Tony Hadley, Tom Robinson, Midge Ure, Suggs, Alison Moyet, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Jamelia), all of whom are dragooned into the tomfoolery and mercilessly lampooned.

Hobby Bobbies
Nigel is probably Britain’s longest serving Police Community Support 
Officer, and Geoff is probably the laziest. They make quite a team.

Small Scenes
BC Radio 4 comedy sketch show broadcast in 17 episodes from 2012 to 2019, performed by Sara Pascoe, Daniel Rigby, Mike Wozniak, Cariad Lloyd, Henry Paker, Freya Parker.

self-contained world that allows the laughs to emerge from their 
characters.

Detective Sergeant Nick Mohammed

Absolute Power
Prentiss McCabe is one of London’s top PR companies. They can make anything and anyone look good or bad and won’t let silly things like morals get in the way. In charge of the company are Charles Prentiss (Stephen Fry), a man whose skill at spinning is something to be both admired and appalled by, and Martin McCabe (John Bird), a more relaxed chap who is more than willing to stop his business partner when he goes just that little too far.

A Bit of Fry & Laurie
The sketches in ”A Bit of Fry & Laurie” (note the quotation marks) often involved mocking the posh, the upper classes, espionage and the moneyed.
