About this listen

Now, Where Were We? is the show that Barry Cryer has been waiting 86 years to make!


Alongside his son, actor and writer Bob Cryer, Barry's booked a room at a favourite London pub, called up a bunch of famous pals he's not seen since lockdown began, and he's invited them down for a pint and a proper catch-up. This is Barry at his storytelling best, in his natural habitat, doing what he’s done for decades: making us laugh.


There is some very explicit language used in punchlines from time to time, but Barry's nearly 90, so it's sort of delightful, isn't it?

As my title says, this podcast was maybe a few years too late in launching. It's a shame that there are stories we'll never get to hear now.

Barry wasn't a comedy legend - he was a comedy titan. He is already being missed greatly but these podcasts are a fun listen in general.

In all honesty, it's the recordings of his work on Clue and spin-off The Doings of Hamish & Dougal that I'll re-listen to most.

Better late than never

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I laughed like a drain and will be calling myself Mary Hinge from now on.

Fantastic to hear Barry Cryer reminiscing with friends

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Hardly laughed at any of the podcast episodes. Danny Baker was excrutiating. Couldn't recommend this to anyone I'm afraid.

Very disappointed
