    Any of you Brits listen to 'Dead Ringers' on Radio 4?

    I have to say that it is without doubt one of the most amusing shows on Radio at the moment. I am not sure it would have the same appeal to a Transatlantic audience, as many of the personalities mimicked are UK based, though George Bush is as usual well parodied.

    Click on this link, press 'Listen Live' near the top right hand screen. A little box will come up on screen, press Dead Ringers in the first column.

    Oh yes, I'm an avid Radio 4 listener. Watch, erm I mean 'listen' out for "I'm sorry, I haven't a clue" - it is one of the funniest comedy shows I've ever heard.

    The Bush impersonation is fantastic, especially the script writing and the wrong / invented words:

    "I'd like to thank president Blair and the way he has suporterated us"

    Simon,

    'I Am Sorry I Haven't A Clue' is hilarious'. I have avidly followed it for it must be, a couple of decades now. "Just A Minute' is very funny too, though I do miss Kenneth Williams. It has never been quite the same since he passed away.

    BTW: Dead Ringers has now moved to TV over here. The Bush & Blair impersonations are particularly good.
