A few weeks back, **Fern Forest** mentioned that (s)he wanted to be able to listen to the original Whose Line Is It Anyway? radio series and I suggested that they check out [BBC7](http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/). Well, as is shown [here](http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/listings/index.shtml?Monday), Whose Line? is now being aired by BBC7 on Mondays at 8:00am and 10:00pm (Note: That’s British time, adjust for your timezone). If you live outside the UK, you can listen to the broadcasts via Windows Media or RealPlayer. ---

Woohoo! Well ain’t that a hoot and a half! Thank you very much with a cherry on top for the heads up Kal. Now let’ see. It’s Sept 23 @ 12:30am for me now. And it’s Sep 23 @ 10:30am for them. Which means I’m 10 hours behind. So it plays at 8:30pm on the 29th so I can watch it 10:30am or noon. Hey, that’s not too bad. Ooh, I wish my pc was fast enough to record it. Oh, and I’m a man. See the photo thread. ---

Your post just made me notice a mistake in my OP; I said the first airing had an 8:00am start time when it is actually 8:30am. ---

Superb. There’s so much good stuff - the Goons, Hancock’s Half Hour. Thanks, **Kal** , for the heads up. ---

I just noticed they’re also rerunning “The Masterson Inheritance” on [Tuesdays](http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/listings/index.shtml?Tuesday) (too late for tonight, sorry). As the narrator says, it’s “an improvised historical saga of a family at war with itself. No script, no rehearsals, just an audience and a couple of microphones”. Many voices familiar from WLIIA are in it: Josie Lawrence, Paul Merton, Caroline Quentin.
