Old Harry's Game
6.30pm R4 If satire has evolved beyond jokes about Scotsmen and Margaret Thatcher, you wouldn't know it from Old Harry's Game. A shame, since it has an engaging premise: sin has soared and Hell is overflowing. Writer Andy Hamilton [Not the Nine o'Clock News, Drop the Dead Donkey] gives himself the best lines as Satan, such as when his mobile rings: "Hello? Speaking. Yes I am happy with my power supply." This first of four episodes also includes amusing verdicts on agnostics ("atheists with an element of cowardice") and God ("Good at thinking out of the box"). Though suspiciously reminiscent of Blackadder, the double act of Satan and his henchman Scumspawn is amusing, and augurs mildly promisingly for this new series. (Bruno MacDonald)
