A lot of my political knowledge before I was 10 was Spitting Image in the 1980s (never understood why Norman Lamont held a yoghurt pot against his temple though), going into my teen years doing a paper round gave me a solid foundation to build my hatred for the workings of the British mainstream press.

I think satire is incredibly important in news, because it can be used to state bluntly exactly what’s happened, without having to tread on eggshells because of the legal protections afforded to it.

Thought eds interview style was great in this, didn't try to keep up with them in terms of jokes but still was funny and made the conversation flow nicely. Good job guys

More of this please JOE!

oh my god, when I saw this I was SO damn excited.

I live on the Isle of Wight and actually saw Nish and Josh in East Cowes…but what they say about the press on the Island is completely correct…it’s dreadful and for some reason we have sooooo many outlets all pretty much like carrion over non-stories!

Funny to see Josh trying to hide his Nero cup when he talks, you can tell he is TV trained.

The trio we thought we’d never need… damn that was good!

I'm currently working Joe at work, even though Josh told me not to.

I'm so glad Gus Honeybun is coming back - just disappointed I live in Scotland now so won't get to see him.

At least you didn't call it "vehicular detritus"
