There was an episode in 2006 (recorded during the Edinburgh Fringe) where Ross Noble was given the subject of "mime", and without saying a word Ross got a huge laugh from the audience. Nicholas then had to explain what happened to the listeners... "Ross took the subject, I have to explain and he went into a mime. And the audience loved it. This is the first time we've had mime on radio and it's worked! And he got so carried away with the reaction he got, the only way we were going to stop him was for me to leave my chair and go over there and physically restrain himself!" Incidentally Ross Noble would have been on the televised series were it not for prior commitments. Others who would have otherwise accepted were Sheila Hancock (a veteran of the show), Jenny Eclair (herself a 23-year veteran of the show), Lee Mack (played once in 2004), and Helena Bonham Carter (yes, seriously! Turns out she's a fan of the show and wrote to the TV producer Andy Brereton to appear, but the dates didn't work out for her. Nothing from stopping her going on the radio show though!)

So am I.

The smaller words that make up the English language are usually ignored so long as they’re not used to excess (like if someone said and 5 times in a row)
