"Tricky, isn't it?"
I really enjoy the Radio 4. Milton Jones series, the stand up not so much. A series of usually totally unconnected one liners turning the expected into quirky odd ball comments , like
- The Pope loves cats: he's a Catoholic.
- He took his sister to a poultry farm; not the hen night she'd expected.
- Before his Grandfather died, Grandmother covered his back with lard: after that, he went downhill very quickly
He uses a slow delivery to separate the very random one liners, sometimes seeking almost hesitant, to allow his audience to keep up. He was, at times, very funny, but without any base line story for this reader it felt as if it never really started. Just me, I guess.
But I did enjoy the just under one hour of the live recording, available to download for free from the Audible Plus programme
