Cycling comedy: Alexei Sayle

[Fnaar]

I'm a big fan of Alexei, and he's a keen cyclist too.
Decent cycling comedy clip on yesterday's The Now Show (Radio 4)

Salye, the nations wealthiest proponent of communism, has started doing comedy now? Well i'll be.

 

[TVC]

I heard it last night, very good.

 

[Deleted member 23692]

I listened from 8:11 for a few minutes and didn't notice any comedy

 

[Lilliburlero]

I need to get that Richard cycling book

..... "PFFIN"!

 

[ScotiaLass]

I can't stand him. I've yet to find anything he's done remotely funny.

I can't stand him. I've yet to find anything he's done remotely funny.

I am with you on that one, not even a smile from me.

Each to their own eh?
Didn't even find him funny on The Young Ones.

Couldn't stand that programme

You know the Cold War's over? There's a whole new group of people you're meant to fear and distrust now.

 

[Drago]

The cold war will never be over! All hail Mad Vlad Putin!

[QUOTE 3778922, member: 259"]Aagh - the clip's on a show hosted by Hugh Dennis. No way. I'd rather listen to the Archers. At the dentists! [/QUOTE]
Funnily enough, whilst doing the ironing this morning, I used iplayer to listen to, first, yesterday's Now Show, followed by yesterday's Archers....

I've just been back to my old copy of Richard's Bicycle Book to check what Alexei Sayle claimed it said about killing an attacking dog. As I expected it was a wild exaggeration, but it chimed just enough with my (fond) memories of the book that I could almost have believed it.

The Now Show is embarrassingly inept.
I just twiddle my thumbs for a month or two till The News Quiz comes back

 

[Fnaar]

A) I like Alexei... I find him very witty and intelligent
B) The Young Ones was great
C) The Now Show is kind of OK, but yes, the news uqiz (hopefully even without Sandi T) is better.
