Radio 4 / Radio 4 extra - I caught it a couple of times in the wee small hours whilst suffering from insomnia.

It has a particular, and IMO hilarious, sketch where a woman with a strange, childlike and slightly foreign accent does a monologue about some random st that she did that day. Often includes reference to 'Porcelain Lion' or somesuch - said lion is quite opinionated and forthright, apparently.

Anyway, if you've never heard of it, you are probably thinking I was on drugs.... If it does ring any bells, you might be able to tell me what the radio programme is? Maybe......

It's not Joyce, I'm familiar with her work - this is a more recent offering.

It was a few weeks ago, I've probably left it too long for checking the schedules - can't remember what day of the week or the exact time.

I've not helped myself much here.....

Thanks anyway Eric.
