A relatively minor update of A490349, to include Humph's death, the new guest hosts, a few typos, and a lot of links

Lovely thanks Danny - one of the best things on R4 imo. I'm glad to see it reviving after Humph's death. I recommend everyone get tickets to watch it being recorded.
Could you squeeze in a sentence about their audience display board?
(actually a piece of old cardboard in reality)

Ah yes, the laser display  If I remember rightly, the producer walks on with it, doesn't he?

I originally wrote 'laser display board', but changed it as I thought my memory was flawed. It always gets a huge laugh, when they use it.

I've added that, and also a paragraph on Humph's local introductions

This is very well written. It's almost impossible to do justice to this show. It's very, very British, and the comedy is at times side-splitting. I used to play some of the tapes in the car, but had to keep pulling over into a lay-by at times. I have happy memories trying to explain Mornington Crescent to a group of Dutch colleagues.
A couple of points:
No mention of Mrs Trellis? 
I've got a tape of the pilot show (1972? - must check). Interestingly, it featured the other Goodie, Bill Oddie. They did a commemorative show after 25 years, I think, with contributions from famous fans and their favourite games. Again I'll see if I've still got the tape.
<Each episode begins with the host giving a brief description of the city in which the episode is being recorded.> This wasn't always the case. I can't remember how long it has happened, though - maybe the last 10-15 years, maybe?
The Calypso song used to be called Blues, Calypso, Madrigal. I haven't heard any other formats used.
Finally, the BBC runs a messageboard for fans - certainly worth a plug. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbradio4/F2766775

Excellent points, Icy
I think I've got everything, but let me know if you think of anything else!

well done Danny ~ It's shows like 'Clue' that make me believe there may yet be hope for the human race.
(Thought Victoria Wood was good the other week , but missed Jack in the chair this week due to w*rk)

You can listen to the radio wherever you are in the world - it's the TV that you can't watch <to do with copyright issues apparently>

Danny, before somebody else jumps in, you've *got* to link Cleethorpes to A642980

<The One Dalmatian, Krakatoa, East of Cleethorpes and so on>
Confusing commas. Either use a semi-colon after Dalmatian or a dash after Krakatoa.

I thought I recognized some of those names.

Are there any more comments on this, or can I go ahead and carry out the update?

Go for it, Danny.
We can add minor changes through EF if necessary.
