It appears this show may be on sale.
* Tim is one of the performers in audio download "The Wit of Golf". According to the show's listing on Audio.com (at http://tinyurl.com/33o83rg), "Building on the huge success of The Wit of Cricket, this is a collection of the funniest golf anecdotes, jokes, and stories, performed by Peter Alliss, Tim Brooke-Taylor, and Robert Powell. Here is a bumper bag of humorous anecdotes and amusing tales from the world of golf that proves it is a funny old game - bunkers, birdies, and all!
Recorded live by Peter Alliss, Tim Brooke-Taylor, and Robert Powell in front of an enthusiastic audience at Hindhead Golf Club in Surrey, here are dozens of hilarious stories about legendary players such as Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods - and also caddies, club golf, pro-celebrity tournaments, and commentary gaffes!"
* Also available as an audio download is Tim's appearance in the BBC Radio 4 show "I've Never Seen Star Wars". Here's a link to the series on Audio.com, although it is likely available from other digital retailers as well: http://tinyurl.com/33u8tet

| new series of ISIHAC starts next Monday / another "Long Hot Satsuma" repeat |
more from same (The Goodies) |
* A new series of Tim & Graeme's radio show, "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue", starts on BBC Radio 4 next Monday, 21 June. The show will air for six weeks at 6:30pm Mondays; each episode will be repeated the following Sunday at noon. The broadcasts can be heard online from www.bbc.co.uk/radio4. After broadcast, each episode will be available online for a week from the BBC iPlayer (radio shows on iPlayer should be available to most of the world).
Here's a listing for the first episode of the new series: "BBC Radio 4's antidote to panel games returns for its 53rd series with regulars Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer, Graeme Garden and Jeremy Hardy on the panel and Jack Dee as the programme's reluctant chairman. I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue promises more quality, desk-based entertainment for all the family, as the series starts its run from the Centaur in Cheltenham. Regular listeners will know to expect inspired nonsense, pointless revelry and Colin Sell at the piano."
* BBC Radio 7 is repeating Graeme Garden & Barry Cryer's 1989 radio sketch comedy series "The Long Hot Satsuma" on Tuesdays starting today (June 15th). Although the BBC website says they are only airing two episodes, as the station used to do before recovering the episodes that were missing from the archives, other listings show this will be a repeat of the full series.
Episode 1 can be heard for a week (until next Tuesday's episode airs) from http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b007jwxv/The_Long_Hot_Satsuma_Episode_1/
* ISIHAC fans might enjoy hearing Barry Cryer interviewed in a repeat of "Chain Reaction" from December 2004. The show was repeated by BBC Radio 7 last week and is available from the BBC iPlayer through this Friday, 18 June, at 10:32pm London time from http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00grv92/Chain_Reaction_Series_2_Jo_Brand_Interviews_Barry_Cryer/

Join Jack Dee, Barry Cryer, Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Jeremy Hardy and pianist Colin Sell for an unmissable evening of inspired nonsense. “Whether the teams are singing the words of one song to the tune of another, making up serial rhymes or entering the mythic maze of Mornington Crescent, they have now become the National Theatre of fun”
