I can't think of anything more middle class than Saturday Live meself...

There used to be a travel program after Saturday Live, hosted by Sandi Toksvig. Each week was about the same - some north London person telling everyone about what an amaaaazing time they'd had on their recent trip to somewhere that wasn't quite as off the beaten track as they thought, followed by Sandi and her guests musing on the availability and necessity of bottled water if visiting Keswick.

Programme, please - program is what you do to a computer

Are you thinking about Excess Baggage?

That slot used to occupied by Home Truths with John Peel. WTF was he thinking? Incomprehensible bollocks based on dreary middle class anecdotes from listeners.

Yes! That was it!

Anyway, Saturday Live. Gods, I hated that programme, but I was living for a while with my mother who loved it. There would always be a poet on board who'd do a poem based on the events of the week, and it would always sound exactly the same. Then a bit about something funny in the news spun out to ridiculous lengths - the sort of thing Armando Iannucci and Chris Morris were nailing in On the Hour with It's Your Region back in 1990 or so. I once listened to an interview with someone from the pagan police association, which could have been interesting, but was just Fi Glover asking the poor plod over and over again about naked dancing.

And yeah, the "Thankyou" bit...

Starmer seems to very suited to radio interviews. Listening to this one on Times Radio today which he conducts with flying colours
