Radio: Narrative Comedy: Old Harry's Game, Series 5 Episode 2, Radio 4 Tuesday 6-6.30 pm

My last post was also on Old Harrys Game so I hope you will forgive me if I don't rehearse the basic plot. We'll take Satan and his quest to stop (yes stop) people coming to hell as read. This week he tries to use politics and politicians to make the world a better place. You can imagine how well he gets on.

In the meantime Scumspawn has software problems in the 'meet and greet' part of hell and, since the clerical demons are on strike, Thomas and Vlad the Impaler are the only humans demonic enough to help him out. While there Thomas finds a soulmate a man as evil as himself.

As I discussed before I think this series misses the professor. But otherwise it is still sharp and still funny and definitely still worth hearing. Until tomorrow you can listen again here .

POTENTIALLY OFFENSIVE CONTENTS: Vanessa Fetlz must be used to personal abuse by now. Ditto US Republicans.
YOU’LL LIKE THIS IF YOU LIKE: Drop the Dead Donkey.
RATING: ***** (The old series would get ****** - yes they are that good).

Comments:
Series 5 is the only one of these I've heard and I thought it was brilliant.

And yet everyone seems to say that the earlier seasons are even ebtter - must get alongto Amazon and buy the cds...
