thread_title: Sections

message: There was a large list of comedies in classed as "other". I put most in the correct section, but there's a few that either I can't find any evidence for them existing, or that were originally broadcast on other channels. I removed them, and list them below:
*1994 - No idea what this is, and hard to google
*Big and Little - can't find any info
*The Dictionary Quiz - can't find any info
*Hole in the Wall Gang - Not clear that they did anything for R4, though maybe it was repeated on Radio 4 Extra
*Lee and Herring's Fist of Fun - their Radio 1 show now repeated on BBC 4 Extra
*Losers
*The Monkhouse Archive - This was Radio 2, I think
*Shuttle Diplomacy - can't find anything about this
*Slices of Life - Is this Phill Jupitus's Radio 1 show?
*Sounding Brass - Radio 2 phone-in?
*Too Many Songs - Radio 2 doc on Tom Lehrer?
*Two Priests and a Nun Go into the Pub - No info
*Whack-O! - was on light programme
*The Wonder Years - no idea
*You Had to Be There - no idea

thread_title:  Unknown comedies 

message: When I worked shift work, I sometimes listened to this programme while driving to work and in the end stopped because it annoyed me so much. It was never about disabled people who had no roof over their heads, not enough to eat, can't get a job, or any of the problems that occur with able people through lack of money. It was always people living in a comfortable environment with all their needs taken care of wanting even more money from the State. It was only ever about greed.(84.236.152.71 (talk) 08:00, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a shame that your perception of it is so jaundiced.   It's certainly not the way I understood it from the times I listened to the programme. It only ever set out to focus upon disabled people who needed help and had to rely upon various organizations that were set up to do exactly that.  It was never intended to be solely about homeless or poor people whether disabled or otherwise, and it wasn't about greed.  The title itself gave a hint about the way that able-bodied people might find it difficult to relate to the needs of disabled people. You might discover more by listening to some of the shows that are available on YouTube. Twistlethrop (talk) 06:50, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
