Being a very unfunny orrible Cunt doesn’t help…. Neither does the brum nasal whine The cancellation of Frank Skinner’s Absolute Radio show is absurdly ageist It has become evident that British radio has a problem with ageism, and Skinner is the latest casualty Listeners to The Frank Skinner Show (Absolute Radio) were in for a nasty shock. “We’ve just celebrated our 15th anniversary,” said the comedian, in that avuncular, loveably adenoidal voice of his. “Every year I do self-deprecating jokes about the fact that we probably won’t get it renewed. Guess what? We didn’t.” He wasn’t joking. “We’re sacked… I’m not going to pretend I took it well. I took it the way David Tennant took it as the 10th Doctor, when he started to regenerate, and said ‘I don’t want to go!’ It’s a baffling decision. Skinner’s podcast – the trimmed-down, all-chat version of his three-hour music show with co-host Emily Dean and comedian Pierre Novellie – is a delight, the silly and surprisingly erudite chatter ranging from joke-crafting to Dylan Thomas. “Do not go gentle into that good night,” Skinner said, had inspired him to draft a firm email to Absolute.
