I'm a big fan of most topical comedy shows: Now Show, HIGNFY, Last Leg etc. And the panel games stuff (I can listen to any of the R4 regulars).
The only one I've seen/heard that have nailed the current format restrictions is the Mash Report. Massive thumbs-up to them.
(slightly off-topic but R4 Saturday LIve - with the lovely Rev RIchard Coles - has been very good. I think the presenters sit 5m apart in a regular studio, and many of their guests phone-in normally, so they're not having to change their familiar working methods.)
I luuuuurve Graham Norton - last week's was watchable but a pale pale shadow of the normal format. HIGNFY was just painful to watch. News Quiz (r4 now) is ... not great.
i think anyone who has been on a video call with more than 3 people will sympathise with how hard it would be to keep any interaction/banter fresh!
