The science of comedy

Simon Mayo|09:23 UK time, Tuesday, 9 March 2010

I know I said we'd do history today but after hearing the extraordinary Prof Brian Cox with Chris this morning, I think we should do science based hits please. Biology, Physics and Chemistry whatever takes your fancy really. And if I can get away with playing "The Elements Song" by Tom Lehrer you'll be the first to know.

And we make way for the extraordinary Ken Dodd after 6. He's 82. He doesn't want to retire. He does 150 gigs a year. Rock on Ken. I'm watching a 'new' dvd of his laughter show from 1979 complete with tickling stick and tattifilarious jokes and the Nigel Lythgoe dancers. Outside its punk, inside its Blue Mink cover versions.

All new drive confessions at 5.40-have you confessed yet? Go on, I wont tell anyone. [email protected]

See you at 5.05
