Oh my word…. This is quite the mash-up… long been a fan both of #TomLehrer’s musical talents (30+ yrs) and @mitchbenn.bsky.social musical humour and songs from #TheNowShow onwards (c.20 yrs)… I saw Tom’s copyright from 1960s has expired on his songs last year I think, so all open for use.
Oh I don’t like #TheNakedWeek. Agree on #TheNowShow. Love love love #deadringers & #thenewsquiz except for the week Geoff Norcott killed it. I now say “I KNOW!” like Jan Raven’s Liz Truss. Hope #theunbelievabletruth returns soon.
#thenakedweek is way better than #thenowshow that carried on far too long past its sell by date. On a par with #thenewsquiz and #deadringers. I am definitely a fan.
#thenowshow oops!
I’ve adored #TheNowShow (& it’s elections-focussed #VoteNowShow) for all the years, long-term listener of the show, and I will miss it greatly: its variety of segments, satirical music, comment on the week’s news & fun impressions. Writing team always good, at least shows available on BBC Sounds.
#Sad: After a marvellous 25yrs of shows, kudos to Radio 4’s #TheNowShow, now ended! Loved the #wit, the #satire, the #talent shining out. #StevePunt & #HughDennis! I’ve adored #TheNowShow (& #VoteNowShow) for all the years, will miss it greatly: its variety of segments, music, words & impressions.
I went to see The Now Show's final show being recorded last night and wrote this, this morning. It's on Radio 4 in ten minutes but I think I got a longer version... #bbcradio4 #bbcradio #thenowshow bleedingcool.com/tv/rory-brem...
Rory Bremner will be running through 28 years on tonight's final The Now Show for BBC Radio 4 with Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis. / #bbc #thenowshow #radio4
#TheNowShow: Is it time for Labour to choose a left-wing leader?
@jeremycorbyn @MrNishKumar @UKLabour
Hugh Dennis missed a great opportunity to make us oldies happy by saying "Milky milky" - just once, Hugh, please! #thenowshow @BBCRadio4 f
No Hugh Dennis on today's #thenowshow... and no @MitchBenn either, boo.
I absolutely *loved* @NickDoody on "traces of horse". #thenowshow @BBCRadio4 . Met him once in the audience.
Time for #theNooowwwShooowwww #thenowshow @BBCRadio4
Thanks to @BBCRadio4 #thenowshow for that dreadful joke about Paypal infallibility.
"MC Escher resigns as editor of #Newsnight..." Best (possibly only) joke on #TheNowShow
Top-class Andy Parsons routine about tax call centres on #thenowshow @BBCRadio4
Not sure Lynne Truss is *quite* hitting the mark on #TheNowShow... @BBCRadio4
