I'm not sure what else Chris produces. But since comedic performing is more of a side gig, that would certainly explain him being cast in one of my favorite Dr. Who audio dramas 'The Kingmaker'. I forget which role he played, but he was awfully good in it. The cast also includes another Just a Minute alum, Arthur Smith as the Duke of Clarence I believe. I would definitely recommend this story to Dr. Who fans, and to Just a Minute fans.

just looking at his blog he says his full-time work is as a producer of BBC comedy shows and his comedy work is a spare-time gig these days. Anyone know what shows he produces?

Although there are comparisons to be made between Kenneth Williams and Chris Neill, to go on for paragraphs about how Kenneth was better seems a bit like saying "the sun came up today". Of course Chris isn't as funny as Kenneth. Hardly anyone on the planet is.

I think Chris is funny on the show and has developed a unique schtick which works. I think a better comparison than with Kenneth is with Alan Carr who seems to me have a far more successful career. I'd be interested to know actually what Chris's major work is at the moment. Perhaps someone else knows?
