Product Description
Milton Jones stars in tis Sony Award-winning BBC Radio 4 comedy series. The man who's earned the title 'Britain's funniest Milton' stars in four furiously funny and fast-paced adventures. First he gets involved in a dastardly plot involving the Bayeux Tapestry, the Da Vinci Code, and a quote for some guttering. Next up, he's a world-famous explorer, searching for the source of the longest anorak zip in the world.Then he becomes a Championship Jockey racing for his life in Abu Dhabi, via Blackpool Sands and a dodgy baseball bat warehouse in Toxteth. And finally, as an inspirational Mayor of London, Milton plays Twister at the UN, accidentally hosts the 2008 Beijing Olympics and floods Wandsworth. And if that wasn't enough, he's worried the pigeons in Trafalgar Square might be organizing a coup. Written by Milton Jones (Time Out 'Best Comedy' and Perrier Award-winner) with James Cary (Think The Unthinkable), the cast includes Tom Goodman-Hill (The Office, Spamalot), Lucy Montgomery (Down The Line) and Dave Lamb (15 Minute Musicals). It includes all four episodes of Series "Two of Another Case of Milton Jones".

Milton Jones has taken 'the Goons' and 'Round the Horne' and taken them to a brilliant new level of silliness, strangeness and fun. This is a CD which can be listened to many times as you discover new puns and jokes subtle enough to miss the first time. My whole family enjoys this, from the children who can't believe a grown-up can be this absurd - to my husband who normally hates radio comedies. A good CD to have in the car.

This incarnation of the Milton Jones radio show carries on the tradition of reasonably fast, well-paced puns particularly, but also some reasonably good one-liners. And that is more or less it -- the plots and other characters are essentially there to give some form and structure to the gags.
He does this well, of course, and so this is not a criticism. I do miss a little, though, some of the other forms of gags which he does well, e.g. the musical numbers which are a highlight of the stage show. They are genuinely funny too, and provide a sometimes much-needed change of pace.

Milton Jones is the king of surreal one-liners and terrible puns. It's just the sort of humour I really enjoy, and lo, I really enjoyed this. He knows when to stop and let the audience work it out for themselves, he knows when is best to just fling a terrible pun or absurd misunderstanding out there and let us deal with it. There's a tiny bit of material recycled in his live tour, but that's probably only three or four things.
Each episode has essentially the same characters, doing different jobs and getting into different situations. It's almost a Simpsons-like approach to the episodes, where Milton Jones (the character) starts out with a particular job and theme of joke, but it quickly drifts off into something else as the plot bends and twists to supply the pun-making scenarios. It makes the show easy to step in and out of if you're listening in the car (But I wouldn't step in and out of the car when you're listening to it, especially if you're driving)
I can't wait to listen to more!
