The audience and the listener alike could be forgiven for thinking that the second series of Call Jonathan Pie would be toned down, it might spare the rod of absolute indignation from the words and attitude of the former news correspondent…and yet why would Tom Walker as the eponymous Jonathan Pie do such a thing, why would he be instructed to give way on opinions that his comic creation holds, for in no short measure does the second series deviate from the brilliance to which he has given the now late night radio host on the B.B.C. his voice.
