	Yes! I'm a BIG fan of this show! Sadly, as you say, it comes on at 5pm
CST here in Minneapolis, too, so it's only rarely that a grad student like me
gets to see it. A few months ago, it used to air somewhat later, at about 7:30pm
and that's when I was hooked! My personal favourite amongst the brilliant
participants, is Josie Lawrence. She's terribly funny, and it's almost too good
to believe that it's spontaneous!

I know Tim Brooke-Taylor was in a sitcom called "You Must Be The

Fawlty Towers was in it too).  The show was about a housewif who writes
a romance novel, and gets rich.

It went something like

No, we don't want any smegging toast!
No toast, no buns, no bagels, .....

He went on and on.

Does anyone know exactly what list of bread products Lister used?

I thought I was reasonably familiar with this game (for a foreigner, anyway), 
but apparently there is a rule at work which I didn't know - the one that states
that all moves should be misspelt... recent development, is it?

 Oh, BTW, I hereby use my right *not* to make a move at this point - I believe
this is justified due to the fact that I've made flippant remarks about the 3rd
last move from a great distance.

Incredible show!

I used to catch it on PBS a few years ago.
Never had a stand up comic (well, sit down comic) ever
made me laugh so hard and yet so consistently as this

Whatever happened?  I know it was cancelled in Chicago.
Is there anybody who remembers this show or has seen it?
Better, someone who has some episodes taped?

Joan was definitely NOT played be Frances de la Tour.  There was some

This move is clearly illegal. It ignores the long-established Diagonal
principle and is in direct contravention of Rule 24(a) (second para).

The first one is After Henry: a classic wry comedy, which the BBC (alas) lost
to ITV when it moved to the telly. I don't recall 2 or 3.

The trouble is that the best radio comedy shows (After Henry, the Mary
Whitehouse Experience, Whose line is it anyway?) are snapped up by the TV. I
have to say that if the appallingly unfunny shows you mention are examples of
your sense of humour, you won't like the excellent shows being turned by the
BBC today. These include programmes like The News Quiz, the Roy Huddlines and
Week Ending which wouldn't travel well, and couldn't stand the delay in
broadcasting. There is also Nick Revill which is very black humour (depression,
girlfriend problems and talking geraniums, but hilarious), as well Radio Active
(now gone to TV in the shape of KYTV) and many others. Radio 4 is about to
repeat Hitch-Hiker's guide too.

This is classic!!  Which episode is this from?  I've only managed to
see most of the first 2 seasons so far, and the only thing I remember
about a toaster had something to do with the toaster being incredibly
smart or something....and I think it played music too, before Lister
or Rimmer slammed something on it or otherwise violently shut it up...

So, is this something new that I have to look forward to? :)
