Pete and Dud performing some of their greatest sketches from A Bit of a Chat to Art Gallery. [Rptd Thursday 4.30am]

Thanks for that, Pinball.
Just listened to Pete and Dud through the listen again feature. Top notch.

I'll have it shared later today on Soulseek. In fact I'm MP3ing most of the BBC7 comedy (mono), together with Radio 4 (stereo) - mostly the daily 6.30pm slot for the latter, although there are occasional others on R4 like the Pam Ayres poetry programme and the Clement Freud 3-parter on old age.

Not BBC 7, but BBC 6 has a great Spinal Tap documentary on tonight at 9.30pm (actually started last night). Anyone recording them?

It might be on here, but i can't listen to the link at work:

I'm at full capacity with comedy on BBC7 & R4, but maybe someone else can. Have you considered buying a Bug? ;-)

Saturday Night Fry is on tomorrow at 11pm.  That might be popular with some people on here. Or is it old news, I think I've downloaded some of them from this site before.  Also right before that there is The Mark Steel Revolution, that's usually worth a listen.  

Don't download them just for me though, I've got got good old Freeview and a VHS.

I'm MP3ing most comedy output from BBC7 & R4 for the foreseeable future (N.B. BBC7 is mono though), until I get tired & shagged out doing it anyway ;-)

Have you been grabbing the Brian Appleton shows Pinball?  I managed to catch most of tonights one, wonderful to hear that Smiths song again.  Ack, damn shame I can't seem to encode from my Freeview box, it'd be nice to have a good Stereo capture.  Maybe I could run it into my video and try from there.

Yes I have all of them (and shared). Do you have a minidisk recorder Neil? You could record from Freeview with that then plug it in PC.

Hooray, niec one!

No, sadly not.  What I'm thinking though is that I could run the lead in from my bedroom Freeview box and connect it to the video recorder that's sitting here in the living room. Then if the video recorder picks up the Freeview channel I could just encode from that like I normally do, so it'd still be a live signal, rather than recording to VHS and then encoding from there.

Yeah that'll work cos that's the way I do it.  Just have your VCR set to the AV channel (if you've got your Freeview box and VCR connected together by a SCART lead), and you'll be set.

This all seems very complicated.  All of the previous week's programmes can be found on the website and played through Realplyer:

I hear its pretty easy to 'record' Realplayer streams and convert them to mp3.

[The Fanciful Norwegian]

The quality of the Realmedia files is pretty shit though. I'm glad Pinball is around to make proper MP3 encodes -- before I was just downloading the Real files to my hard drive with NetTransport, but these sound much, much better.
