Comedy Pilots
A trio of comedy pilots will take to the air over the next three weeks. This has nothing to do with budget airlines - honestly - but is all about our search for new, funny formats for Friday evenings.

It's based on the but the potential flaw in the format is that much of the real news we hear these days is already of the "you couldn't make it up" variety. How do you spoof events that are already absurd?
In subsequent weeks you'll be able to hear Jiggedy and Bloodbus.You can find out more about both of those by .
The latter is based on the internet blog of a mystery "driver" who recounts his hair-raising experiences on the late night routes through Glasgow. It has already attracted a lot of interest from the newspapers.
We'll have more pilots airing over the next twelve months as well as the return of audience favourites such as Ellis & Clarke , No Hard Feelings and Watson's Wind-Up. We're also asking little groups of listeners to listen to each programme and give us their views.
As ever, your views are also welcome
