By 1994 Armando had already worked on Week Ending, On the Hour and
Knowing Me, Knowing You and appeared
in front of the microphone in the 5-part series for Radio 4, Down Your Ear. He was given a try out on
Radio 1 with a couple of 30-minute shows in 1993. These shows demonstrated his
witty and knowing style. It was the comedy of parody and the piss-take, poking
fun at the grammar of radio with the irony meter set to red. It was radio “put
through the blender and re-stitched together the wrong way round.”
The 1993 series has also just had a repeat outing on Radio 4
Extra. If you missed them, here’s some of what you could have heard.In fact both programmes, plus series two, can be found on the Fist of Fun website, just look under Downloads.
