I confess to listening to and thoroughly enjoying ISIHAC on many occasions over the years. Unlike the self-obsessed Brandreth, the cringe-making and intensely annoying Norton, the well past his use-by date Parsons and the frankly unfunny Eclair, the ISIHAC ensemble densely populate my watching and listening habits over the decades and it's like listening to a bunch of old friends having a laugh and making me laugh with them. Shame about Humph, good to hear them carrying on. -- SIRPip : B12
