Funny ha ha ?

Nowt or summat ?  I occasionally fall into conversation with people who actually like programmes constructed from the BBC's entertainment archives, dressed up with machine-like interviews with current stand-ups and micro-celebrities.  One such well-meaning chap has noticed that an offering entitled Funny Business, billed as a series of three, narrated by Eddie Mair, seems to have stuttered and stalled at Episode 1 - Gags to Riches.  Part 2 - Deal Makers, and Part 3 - Waves of Laughter, have evanesced from the schedules.

The programme's executive producer is Anne Gilchrist, who left the BBC in December to join Ruth Jones' independent production company; the producer and director is Richard Marson, once editor of Blue Peter.
