Why Bother? is a comedy radio series made for BBC Radio 3, consisting of five 10-minute-long spoof interviews between Chris Morris and Peter Cook's character Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling. Recorded in late 1993, the show was originally broadcast from 10–14 January 1994. Cook received the sole writing credit whilst Morris also produced the series, although the pair ad-libbed the majority of the dialogue, which Morris then edited.
Morris played a variation on the abrasive interviewer character he had created in On the Hour and later used in The Day Today. The short pieces provide further insights into the Streeb-Greebling character that Cook had created for Not Only... But Also in 1965.
