I'd like to congratulate you on the awe-inspiring guitar solo at the beginning of 'Tony'.

Yes – the fine handiwork of my partner in crime, Dave Smith.

One day he hopes to be able to play it for reals.

wouldn't it be cool if they accidentally gave you a death-ray…

Will work on getting something up soon.

Keith, you'll be pleased to know that despite appearances on Wednesday night... Thursday nights show actually went really well.…

Yes, but was it the identical gag? And if so, was it walking the length of SH1 for charity (or absolution) or sonething..?

Though that does sound like a new US Army strategy.

And Josh the song you're looking for is called "Jesus"

(come see my show too)

Yeah

Of course, teenagers all over will be going: "How does Mrs Peacock like, you know, just know how it feels to be me."

It requires a lot of skill to take the piss so magnificently in an instrumental.

Also, wouldn't it be cool if they accidentally gave you a death-ray instead…

Two posts in as many days? This is krazy, Keith.
What I like is the disparity in content. On the one hand, a fairly serious commentary on media law and freedom. On the other... Mrs Peacock.
Who are hugely funny and definately should be seen. My favourite song of…
