Rushden and Glendenning and Baker

[Champagne and Roses]

Why is GOA on?

Because Father Stone is away for a month, presumably visiting Ted on Craggy island, leaving Rushden to be partnered by a succession of his mates. Rushden seems to have quite a shutfes going on with GOA (even though Maxwell, as a newly-self-described Labour fan, is eager to point out that it's only his dad who's Jewish), so GOA happily turned up today to go 'Hur hur hur' a lot as Maxwell plucked a few tarnished gems from his magpie's nest of purloined themes and ideas. They're a very odd pair, they really are.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Lovely, though, from the Cambridge public school boy: 'Here's how you can do that really complicated thing they introduced in 1872 - when it was made secret from Mr Grotes the gardener - and vote'. Oh, how lovely, thank you so much! And when will you be expecting tea, m'lord?

40 year old Max Rushden thinks unregistered voters who are predominantly under 30 even know who he is.

Are you nice?

Rushden could do a show with that awful Mitch, purely so that they could call it 'Max and Mitch's Mix and Match'.

Rushden reads out a text from some idiot claiming 'Culverhouse' is the best thing on radio. He sounds genuinely pleased. I think his attitude towards nicking 'Mornington Crescent' has looped the postmodern loop so often he now takes it seriously. The whole thing is just really weird.

An exciting event here - Max and Barry appearing live in Dublin.



Let's hope it goes better than last year.

Slowly learning? More likely he just wanted to do a lazy potatoes gag and thought he'd get away with it if he immediately acknowledged it was a bad idea - in other words, what he does every single week on his radio show.

He’s a prick

You can imagine the programme notes from Max talking about all his original ideas and how he came up with them.

Into the show. I can see it now, Max and Barry waiting in the wings. The first few notes of “Bring me sunshine” start playing. Our heroes prance on stage doing some sort of strange dance. Into the first comedy skit where Max grabs his braces and says “rock on Barry” a lot.

Into the second half of the show, where the two funnymen read out comedy news reports, bizarrely at this point they’re both sporting thick rimmed glasses. This is then followed by a bit of slapstick, some home decorating or some sort. The two mirth makers hold a ladder between whilst both saying “to you, to me!!”.

Finally at the end Max and Barry thank you for watching “I’m a celebrity get me on the radio”.

Honestly I'd very happily hurl spuds at Glendinning and Rushden but then I'm not really Irish.

Writes for the Guardian, big Remain anti-Brexit supporter, racist jokes about the Irish. Yep, it all fits.

Perry Groves is quite a welcome stand-in alongside Rushden, because, for some odd reason, he seems - so far - to inhibit Maxwell from his tiresome schtick. It's odd because Groves is happy enough to do stupid quizzes and jokey chats on Jim White's show, but thankfully he somehow makes Rushden behave more like the beige journeyman that he is rather than strain for the quirky comedy genius role to which he usually aspires. So it's dull radio instead of the usual irritating radio, and in the circumstances that's a relief.
