Duff gags, convoluted silliness and double entendres so bad they make you squeak: yes, Another Case of Milton Jones (Radio 4) is back. And those are some of its best bits.
This is how bad the so bad-it's-good vibe is. In the midst of a ludicrous scene set in France, Jones (who was last week pretending to be a visionary architect) meets up with his chum Anton. "I thought we arranged to meet at the boulangerie," says Anton. "Ah," replies Jones, in a moment of realisation. "Not playing boules in our lingerie."
Somehow this is all quite addictive. Occasionally, the jokes aren't quite preposterously weak enough, and then they are dull, but who cares when they are redeemed by Jones's one-liners at their kooky, goofy finest ("I was working on plans for a psychiatric hospital in Brazil in the shape of a giant nut").
Recalling a time when he ran a chocolate shop, Jones remembered serving George Michael, who wanted a Wispa - cue a clip of Michael singing "whisper" - and then he slipped on it. Cue, you've guessed it, him singing "a careless whisper".
