活寶電台
《活寶電台》(暫譯,英語原名Radio Active)是英國廣播公司第四電台(BBC Radio 4)在1980年代播出的一個喜劇廣播劇。自從1980年首播以來,活寶電台受到了廣大喜歡幽默廣播喜劇的聽眾的歡迎。到目前為止該廣播劇已經播出了7個系列。
活寶電台的編創人員以一個假想的本地電台及其可能播出的節目為藍本,在每集近30分鐘的時間裡,製造出了許多的笑料,充分地展現了英國式的幽默。劇中的主要人物是Anna Daptor,Mike Flex,Mike Channel以及Mike Stand。具有喜劇色彩的是他們都以聲音處理設備命名。後來又加入了不可理喻的Nigel Pry,毫無競爭力的Martin Brown以及發言謹慎的Mike Hunt。
這個廣播劇源於牛津大學學生戲劇社。
演員表
安格斯·狄頓(Angus Deayton)飾演的角色有:

- 諾曼·湯索爾爵士(Sir Norman Tonsil) - 華而不實、固執、直率而且討厭的總裁。
- 賴特大師(The Right Reverend Reverend Wright) - 活寶電台的常駐宗教事務領袖。他很喜歡重金屬類型的聖歌 :)
傑佛里·帕金斯(Geoffrey Perkins)飾演的角色有:
- 麥克·福勒克斯(Mike Flex) - 自大的主持人。他的職業生涯的發展方向正好和錢洛爾的相反。
