I’ve caught this a few times recently. Man, it’s poor. It looked promising: a panel debates received wisdoms and tries to overturn them. But it’s dire, just another addition to Radio 4’s smug, pissweak comedy output. Each topic generally has at least one interesting alternative take - one which they all miss every time, preferring to stick with a counter-observation as tired as the original statement. The hope for a cheap laugh and an empty round of applause always prevails.
Start the Week was good though. Jonathan Miller. Excellent.
