Lollards Of Pop!

I enjoyed the live taste tests in series one!

Are you nicking my “bid and play a hand of bridge on air” idea?

That gag is seven years old now! :(

Music: I would say frequency about right from the last series. Good selection as well, lots of unusual interesting stuff.

Talking: At times it was obvious that you were reading the whole thing from a script in front of you. I know that’s just an experience thing though, and something that will improve over time. Also production values seemed awful low – can you not afford one microphone per person? Fortunately, EVERY SINGLE TOPIC you talked about on the last series was interesting, funny, and thought-provoking, like the best bits of ILE, turning these aforementioned problems into needless niggles.

Dr Drugs and Dr Pub (oh, and that Dr Brand thing that I dimly remember): Badly recorded and usually badly acted sketches generally centering around a laboured pun or a “hilarious misunderstanding.” Not funny, not clever, and out of step with the rest of the show IMO.

Tanya: More please! I only remember her being on a couple of episodes, but she was awesome every time. I’m kinda bored of IHM (the best bits are the comment boxes from irate pink floyd fans) but on the radio her venom, nastiness, Geir-like blinkers and generally lovable gin-ravaged persona comes through, and for me was the best bit from the last series, or at least the bit I listened out for the most.

I think Dr Pub and Dr Brand are likely to face retirement, since the stuff they talked about wd be much better done as real actual topics!

I think there’s some good stuff in the Tanya vaults still.

On reflection, maybe not.

I’d ask for a stay of execution for Dr Drugs.
