I love Comedy of the week but occasionally the wrong show gets uploaded. This week we got a talk show called “Send in the Spotlight” which has been uploaded by mistake. Seems nobody is double checking that they uploaded the correct file!
I’ve noticed other BBC podcasts have the same issue!

I’ve listened to every past BBC comedy show and episode I’ve ever found. Comedy of the Week keeps me up to date with newer shows and newer comedians. There is something welcoming about BBC comedy that I find comforting and addictive in these strange times.
