About This Program ✦
Call Me Irresponsible is a television programme presented as a single episode within its series. Classified as a comedy, the show follows the familiar format of a broadcast where listeners call in for advice. Its title hints at the light‑hearted, sometimes reckless situations that the characters find themselves in, setting the stage for a humorous take on everyday dilemmas. In this particular instalment, the central figure, Frasier, receives a call from a man who is unsure about his relationship. Frasier, acting in his usual advisory capacity, recommends that the caller end things with his girlfriend. The twist arrives when Frasier, rather than remaining a detached counsellor, becomes personally involved and ends up dating the very woman he suggested his caller should leave. The episode also features a guest appearance by Amanda Donohoe, who adds an extra layer of charm to the storyline. Her involvement underscores that it’s the comedic premise, as the situation spirals from simple advice‑giving to an unexpected romantic entanglement. The humour derives from the irony of the counsellor turning into the participant, highlighting the show’s playful take on responsibility – or the lack of it. Overall, the episode showcases the series’ penchant for turning ordinary advice segments into absurd predicaments, with Frasier’s well‑intentioned counsel backfiring in the most personal way. The result is a light‑hearted story that keeps listeners amused.
Frasier broadcasts on Channel 4 +1 at 10:00am, Sunday, 8 February 2026. (Subtitles, repeat)
