Just a Cheerful Thought...

I'd advise anyone to buy, as i have now done, all the series of "Old Harry's Game" - the radio 4 comedy written and starring Andy Hamilton. It is absolutely brilliant: in the main, hilarious, and where not hilarious, thought provoking.

There's even a brilliant episode where Satan tells Marx that socialism was a crock of shit. I've never heard any criticism of socialism on any radio 4 comedy so that was really refreshing. Poor old Marx. He ends up fighting with Stalin.

Although the ethics of putting Stalin into a radio comedy programme are a little complicated...
