Radio review: It's Your Round | Victoria Derbyshire

It's Your Round (Radio 4), a new panel game where contestants invent the rounds, sees Angus Deayton (pictured) back presenting on the BBC, and sounding pleasingly like his old self. So, it is all quips that embody a raised eyebrow; positive statements made, then qualified briefly and sardonically, and faux-ennui about the whole shenanigans. His sharp style works well to frame a game that is funnier in some parts than others, but always exuberantly freewheeling. My favourite game, devised by Miles Jupp, was What Does My Father Know?, with guests having to guess his father's answers to general knowledge questions. Nobody could guess, really, but hearing his recorded answers was very funny. Asked what "emo" means, he replied, bewildered, "Um, an email in Greenland?" The name of that show usually refers to drinks, and alcohol featured in the day's most extraordinary radio moment. "Rachel", an alcoholic doctor about to go into rehab, spoke to Victoria Derbyshire (5 Live). It was a gripping, awful, haunting listen. She revealed the level of her addiction ("every waking hour of the day I think about drinking"), her voice already furry with drink mid-morning. At one point on-air, she asked her husband to fetch her another drink. "I'm asking my poor partner to bring me a Guinness," she explained. "How sad is that?"
