Everyone is practically flawless and is given their own individual intricate comical moments but for me David Hyde Pierce and Edward Hibbert who plays the stations camp, upper-crust Chef are just given that bit more edge in the hilarity stakes. What marks this out in it's brilliance is not only the always top notch performances and the inspired hilarity that ensures but they manage to pull off such farcical comedy in a relatively small, compact running time and to such great effect. This is to be achieved by recreating a hammy radio murder mystery play with staff members playing each role. Containing some of the more traditional elements of farce they are utilised to such great effect in a story using the very simplistic premise of Kelsey Grammar's titular protagonist attempting to celebrate a major milestone in the radio stations history. While not one of the more innovative or original episodes, "Ham Radio" has to stand as one of my all time favourite episodes not only of "Frasier" but probably of any series.
