Loved the Absolute Power radio series with Stephen Fry. The TV series didn’t portray the dry humour quite as well.

I’ve been meaning to catch that for a while. Will have to check if it’s available anywhere for download

I kind of view the two shows as entirely separate. They feel like mostly different characters and the tone is very different too. Both good but for different reasons.
