Do you want to work in radio?

Has any one heard Ern and Vern on Saturday afternoons on Three Counties Radio? This is bizarre, and yet hilarious. I think they're trying to be the OAP version of Mark and Lard, and I think you're supposed to laugh along with their jokes... but it doesn't work out that way.

Here's some 'highlights' including callers doing impressions, telephone bingo, 'wacky' jingles, and three counties radio strippers. Also - handjobs or electrical gadgets?

By the sounds of what you're telling me, they need a good slap, old people making sex jokes makes my skin crawl.

No I don't like this at all. It just isn't very good.

Maybe I'm out of the target audience

remember they are trying to be mark and lard. mabie it might be funny hearing them fail at it, or they might be good.

Here's an interesting show from Radio Manchester. Big station I'd imagine, Phil Wood presenting. Just after midnight and he's doing a game called 'the dice is right'. And yet, there's one woman on who's husband is out, there's a pervy host asking about Ann Summers parties, and all of a sudden a bloke appears in the background. Eh, dirty girl!

Anyway, she obviously wasn't comfortable about the questions and disappears. Infact she doesn't come back, leaving the guy with no caller (2 mins in).
