| | | | Robin Ince. Doesn't he look serious? Grr. | | | Serious About Comedy is BBC7's weekly comedy discussion show. Each week host Robin Ince is joined by a panel of guests from the world of comedy - comics, writers, journalists - to look at what's on on TV, Radio, or in the shops that you might like to look at and laugh at.
If you would like to recommend a week's worth of comedy, you can - we've turned over the week ahead section to our listeners. If you're interested, e-mail us your full name, address and a daytime telephone number. We record the week ahead section on Tuesday mornings, and it should take no more than fifteen minutes.
Of course, even if you feel you aren't able to make that kind of commitment, send us your thoughts on things we've reviewed or things we haven't. You can even post on the BBC7 messageboard.
