I absolutely loved 'Talking and Not Talking' - it was absolute quality.
Some people seem quite down on Laura Solon, saying she is repetitive, but of course all I hear is "MERRRRRR merrrrr merrrrrrrr, MERRRRRRR merrrrrr merrrrr' so I kick them in the fadge. Good times, I love it.
@fizmo100 I love it so much too - don't suppose you know where I can listen to it all? I missed a significant amount and it doesn't seem to be on iPlayer.
Laura is very talented. To be frank I'm getting a bit tired of China Lion and Lindy! as she basically repeats the same sketches each week. So it is with the guy who keeps getting practical joked and thinks he's headlining Glastonbury or whatever. TV's Laura, Ben and Him was poor, but on the whole she is a gem.
The animation hasn't spoiled the character for me. Really think it adds something to this monologue. Hope the BBC do more of these. I'm a radio fan, but love these animations.
I'm afraid the cartoon has slightly spoiled this character for me - the beauty / power of radio is you can use your own imagination to illustrate it. Whenever something visual is created to go with the audio, it somehow never matches what's in your head. Not that I'm dissing the superb show or indeed Tim Sagar's animation. Talking & Not Talking is my current fave comedy on R4. So shutupgoavay!
Laura Solon is awesome in every way.

Its a great sketch and animation but I really think the animator has got the wrong end of the stick. This suppose to be a youngish spoilt child.

I totally agree... It is meant to be a young child doing this! Still, good attempt, anyway, I thought.

Definitely one of her better characters, although I always imagined this one to be a small spoilt child. Great stuff anyway.
