Galton & Simpson's Half Hour - I Tell You It's Burt Reynolds

Earlier this year, Radio 2 marked the 60th anniversary of Ray Galton and Alan Simpson's writing partnership with a series of half hour comedies, especially adapted by them for Radio 2. Here's another chance to enjoy the series starring Frank Skinner, Mitchell & Webb, Rik Mayall, June Whitfield and Paul Merton. The third drama in the series, I Tell You It's Burt Reynolds, stars Rik Mayall and June Whitfield. We all know one. The man next door, on the bus, in the pub, or if you're really unlucky the one who comes round your house, night after night, just when you're settling down to watch a long awaited film on television. The last thing you need is a bitter two hour long dispute over the identity of a bit player. The drama was first broadcast on Yorkshire Television back in 1977 and starred Leonard Rossiter and Pat Hayes. The new radio adaptation is introduced by Paul Merton.
