Old Harry's Game
Andy Hamilton's
win-win radio comedy.
Win #1: the idea,
the setting. A sit-com in hell. No need for expensive sets, make up,
any of that. The beauty of radio. All that stuff's in the listener's
head.
Win #2: casting
himself as an eternity-fatigued, other-world weary Satan. Genius from
Andy Hamilton. Perfect.
More running gags
than you can shake a (very sharp, with metal pointy bits) stick at:
The Popes pit. All
kept 8.5 months pregnant for an eternity of varicose veins, backache
and diabetes.
Torturing Robert
Maxwell and Richard Nixon.
Unexpected
inhabitants. Elvis. Florence Nightingale.
Pubic hair hornets.
Torturing estate
agents, lawyers, and the like.
Finding ways to pass
time, when time is meaningless.
One of the funniest
things, ever.
