Has anybody ever worked out how Mornington Crescent works? As yet that remains one of life's mysteries. I wonder if the internet can give me an answer? At the moment it sounds like they studiously name a few tube stations and when they get fed up say Mornington Crescent to which the audience replies with a crescendo of cheers. Got to be more to it than that.

Mornington Crescent is just pure improv ... your description is correct.

Judging by the audience's reaction I reckon more goes on which obviously cannot be seen on the radio. Some of the humour on the programme is extremely clever. Jack Dee's bland, hang-dog wit fits in beautifully. A master stroke by the BBC, and it's not often I say that.
