Pie grater?
I suppose I'm just a dense American, but I have no idea what a "pie grater" is, nor what it would be confused with when said with a Scottish accent. That's a shame, because the example given sounds like it would be funny if I had this background. Could knowledgeable parties perhaps add a little detail for those of us who have never heard BBC Radio? Thanks. --

Done! (I'm Scottish, and if I hadn't heard the episode, I'm not sure I'd have got it written down...)

Thank you very much! Could this perhaps be a Scottish version of
Cockney rhyming slang? I'm still not sure what a "pie grater" is, but the joke is clear now, even without that knowledge. —

I could be wrong, but I don't think there is such a thing as a pie grater. BTW if you are interested in this kind of British radio humour (and particularly I'm sorry I haven't a clue), then I suggest you go to the BBC Radio website where you can lsten to recent episodes, although I'm not sure that it's running at the moment.

It's a vibrator of the sex toy variety misheard as pie grater. They actually say as much "Pie grater?... Matital aid" - "If I can get the top off I'll have a glass of that".
You'll Have Had Your Tea
Surely this is referring to tea (the meal) , rather than a cup of tea .

Rehearsal
I'd be pretty surprised if these sketches in ISIHAC weren't rehearsed beforehand. The concept of the round pretty much makes it impossible to play without the participants knowing in which direction they're going with the charade.

(According to an interview) The contestents are given a few days advanced notice of some of the ISIHAC rounds.

I've added the first time Barry and Grahame used Scottish accents in a Sound Charades sketch (from I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue - Live), but they were named Denzil and Alec.

I do remember there was a Sound Charades game where one of them used the name Angus and Dougal but was that before or after the Denzil and Alec? —Preceding

The review section needs work. It gives positive and negative reviews, but the quotes feel cherry picked, and it's hard to tell whether they give a fair impression of the whole review. Ideally I'd re-write it so it summarised the opinions, but the reviews aren't online. Does anyone have access to the reviews so they could make it fairer?
