I really liked the "news" item a couple of weeks ago that the Hubble space-telescope is going to be turned round, pointed at the earth, then used to spy on people with the surname "Hubble".

my favourite line was from last year's Edinburgh festival, where Iannucci announced that the show was coming from Edinburgh, or as it's also known: "Glasgow of the East." You could feel the tension in the room for a few seconds.

Brilliant show, though, try to catch it every week. Goonie, it's on uknova, hit me with a message if you don't have an account, I should be able to sort one out for you.

nah, it's much better than that. It brings out more than a few proper laughs from me whenever I listen to it

I always find his stuff pretty awkward and only half funny... the funny half is great though.

his self-titled show on channel 4 was excellent, though

probably my favourite comedy series

here's a copy of this weekend's episode

not as good as last week's, sadly. But still contains amusement and laughs. And Darragh O'Brien.
