After listening to Just a Minute, listen to Armando Iannucci's Charm Offensive. It is a funny show although unlike most of the other things he's done that I've heard/seen it only seems to hit the mark about half the time. Like a lot of programs of this nature it seems off the cuff (so you forgive it being sometimes slightly fudgy) and then you find it has about ten writers. Seeing his tv series from a few years ago on DVD made me quite a convert to AO though so I am an eager listener to this. Note that like practically every British comedy on Radio 4 it has a dig at Australians* (News Quiz was riddled with this).
* And Gary Glitter, and Lily Allen. The big 3 things to cock your snook at basically.
