Television has long looked to radio comedy for the 'next big thing'. What makes for a sure-fire transfer? Time Shift investigates, with clips from the archive and interviews.

Time Shift investigates, with the help of favourite clips from the archive and insights offered by Jon Culshaw, Clive Anderson, Barry Cryer, Marcus Brigstocke, and Mitchell and Webb.
