    Notes de l’épisode
    The voices sound perfectly serious. The conversation is heading somewhere wonderfully ridiculous. Welcome to Bob and Ray.

    A Selection of Skits 1 collects approximately 56 minutes of Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding’s radio comedy. Their deadpan delivery makes the familiar language of broadcasting a playground for absurd conversations, unlikely personalities and gently dismantled conventions.

    For new listeners, this archive compilation offers a longer introduction to the duo’s style. For returning fans, it provides room to settle into the pauses, precision and understated exchanges that distinguish their work.

    Choose this recording when you want classic sketch comedy that rewards close listening. The humour depends as much on how a line is delivered as on the words themselves.
