Laughter in the Air: 4: Nouvelle Vague

on BBC Radio 2

Barry Took concludes his history of BBC Radio comedy.

Since the watershed of Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a new generation of writers, performers and producers have made the eighties and nineties a second golden age of radio entertainment. Barry Took traces the progress of the shows which have brought laughter to the airwaves in the last decade - and often crossed over to TV.
Including Radio Active, The Burkiss Way, The Million Pound Radio Show, The Mary Whitehouse Experience, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Knowing Me, Knowing You, Struck Off and Die and Lee and Herring's Fist of Fun.
