I only know Mackenzie Crook from that Channel 4 'Not The 11 O'Clock News' program that had Daisy Donovan, Ricky Gervais and Ali G on it Bobby. I think he had a bit part in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies too (And maybe a voice over in Tin Tin and that Pirates cartoon movie).
I don't know any of his other stuff
And I have never watched Gavin and Stacey
But I'm sure in The Shire, where you are, it's all the rage Bobby -

Ah, the radio
Died for me when Tel did
No more hearing about the opera from Sarah Kennedy, gone is Sally Traffic, no more PopMaster with Ken Bruce, No more Jeremy Vine moaning about bike lanes, Mark and Lard have grumbled their last, gone are the factoids with Steve Wright, Johnnie Walker downed his last dram
I sometimes hear it in shops and the like, it sounds more like Radio 1 used to when I switched over to Radio 2. I'm guessing I must be getting ready for Radio 4 or 5 by now -

Radio 2 now has a lot of the disc jockeys that used to be on Radio 1 when I was young. Jo Wiley, Scott Mills, Trevor Nelson, Sooty…they’re all on Radio 2!

You can find some of your old favourites elsewhere now though. Ken Bruce and Popmaster are now on the Greatest Hits radio and Mark and Lard are on BBC6, only with separate shows.

It’s a nice station. Craig Charles has a funk n soul show on it.
Craig Charles the rapist!??!
I'm only kidding, he got a rougher ride than a Jimmy Savile kiddie from the press over nothing.
Did he ever get a proper apology?
Anyways, he's a mad ferret and I'd be up for listening to his funk and soul show Bobby -

That would be today!
Do i need to get a TV license for it?
No I don’t think so. You just tune in…and enjoy.
FM radios won’t pick it up however. It is a digital station.

I don't use any of them AI thingys Bobby
I don't mind sitting down at a computer and engaging in consensual interactions with AI but an actual box that always listens is a security breach and is open to being exploited
Be mindful of yours! -

Well phooey!
It's Sunday now and I'll have missed it
Get with the times! It’s 2026! You don’t need to listen to shows AS THEY AIR these days! With BBC Sounds you can listen to Craig Charles Funk n Soul Show anytime you please and there’s multiple episodes available too!
Although I will say that it IS better to listen to it AS IT AIRS of a Saturday evening.
