Armstrong and Miller: The BBC Radio 4 Comedies

"Two BBC radio series by the hilarious comedy duo Armstrong and Miller Sketches, songs, spoofs and memorable moments from beloved comedy double act, Alexander Armstrong and Ben Miller. Hear the radio shows that inspired the duo’s hit TV sketch shows and introduced characters from the podcast Timeghost. Armstrong & Miller is packed with sketches and songs from the radio show that launched their careers and turned them into household names. Meet tough-guy cops 'Parsons and Lampkin' (and Lampkin’s mate Steve), there’s an insider’s view of National Trousers Day – ‘because involvement should be as easy as a walk to the wardrobe’ and other highlights including macho rock climbers, and the corrupt world of mountaineering. There’s a track from rock legends Strijka, and you can also hear how Logarythm – the world’s most successful school band – got together. It’s a show that will have you laughing from start to finish. In Armstrong & Miller: Children’s Hour, pompous critics and culture journalists Martin Bain-Jones (Armstrong) and Craig Children (Miller), present a frightfully clever culture show with a wry look at the fringes of popular music. They’re hip, they’re happening – so they say – and in these four episodes they discuss Boy Bands (Peter Andre would be in a band if he had any mates), Middle of the Road (those bland or unchallenging songs), as well as Brit Pop and Solo Artists. This laugh out loud cultural critique wrapped up in a spoof children’s show aimed squarely at adults and is co-written by David Mitchell and Robert Webb.

If You're So Clever, Why Aren't You Rich?: A BBC Radio 4 comedy

"Richard E Grant, Peter Capaldi and Amanda Root are among the stars of this BBC radio sitcom about three promising graduates still underachieving in their 30s Flatmates Judith, Giles and David once had it all: youth, optimism, ambition, and degrees from one of the country's best universities. In their 20s, they were full of potential, but ten years later, they're simply might-have-beens. Stuck in Streatham and strapped for cash, they're forced to mooch off their more successful mates just to get by... Wannabe actress Judith is searching for her big break, but all she finds are unsuitable men (and one equally unsuitable woman...) Could a baby be the answer to her unfulfilled yearnings - or maybe marriage to ex-lover Giles? Nerdy David is also hopelessly in love with Judith, but knows he doesn't have a chance. Will he ever meet a potential girlfriend who isn't in his cycling club? And for dissolute ex-public-schoolboy Giles, recently returned from 'finding himself' in Kathmandu, anything's preferable to going back to Norfolk and becoming a solicitor... As they battle with life, love, themselves and each other, can the not-so-young hopefuls finally find their focus and get to grips with adulthood? First broadcast in 1995, this fresh, funny series still feels real and relevant today, and features a stellar cast including Richard E Grant, Douglas Hodge and Tony Slattery as Giles, Peter Capaldi and Paul Bigley as David and Amanda Root as Judith.
