RADIO 7 (or what BBC calls "BBC7")

[Nether Edge]

I'm very addicted to its comedy threads. Only downsides are:
i. clash at 2300hrs with R4 comedy slot;
ii. clash on Thursday 2200hrs with R2 comedy slot; and
iii. Alex Riley- I hear him and I feel ill. Is it just me or does everyone find his style repellant?

Can't you use the 'listen again' feature and listen on the internet ???

I go here to re-listen to lots of radio shows

I think they called it BBC7 (rather than Radio 7) because it is also available on digital TV (Freview, Sky etc) and also the internet.

Mind you, Radio 1 is also available on Freeview, Sky and the Internet, but I guess they cant change that to BBC1 as they already have a BBC1.

Confusing eh !

I "listen again" all the time at work ( you can pause the show if work gets in the way ), there is loads of great comedy to listen to, old and new...

just click on Comedy and Quizzes down the right hand side for a list.

Yes, yes, listen again, listen again: but what do people think about R7 generally (and Alex Riley unfortunately)?

AND
why are Dan Freeman/Nick Romero (Wilderbeest years) so brilliant and ahead of everyone else in the universe
whilst Colin and Fergus aren't even remotely amusing but dull beyond belief?
