Radio Pumpkin FM - Britcom 4

BritCom 4 takes a wide-ranging approach to British comedy, with a programme guide that includes panel games, sketch shows, comic discussion and interviews. Its identity is less dependent on following one long-running sitcom than on moving between different forms of humorous spoken entertainment. The published timetable sets out half-hour slots across the week.

QI, The Unbelievable Truth, Just a Minute and The News Quiz appear in the published selection. Their presence gives the channel a strong panel-show strand, with the humour arising from questions, discussion and the contributions of different participants. My Word and My Music add older wordplay and music-related game formats to that mixture.

The timetable also includes Chain Reaction, The Tim Vine Chat Show and Wordaholics. Arthur Smith, Hudson and Pepperdine, the Absolutely Radio Show and Sean Lock's 15 Storeys High bring other styles of comic performance into the programme. The station uses these archive productions as its material; it is not a live round-table hosted by all the people named in the guide.

BritCom 4's character comes from the breadth of that collection. Panel games and conversation can be followed by sketches or a sitcom, so the format changes even while comedy remains the subject. The weekly timetable gives the different series recurring positions, with selections varying by day. Within Pumpkin FM's British-comedy family, this channel offers a particularly mixed programme of comic speech, balancing recognisable panel titles with shorter or less continuously represented series from the archive.
