"Who's been watching Gash?"

New satirical current event thingy on Channel Four, Monday to Thursday hosted by Armando Ianucci. And he's worked on Alan Partridge, The Day Today, 99p Challenge, and unsurprisingly The Armando Ianucci Shows.

It's quite good, if experiencing a little teething trouble in it's infancy. Anyone seen it? I recommend it.

I've been trying to tell people that for ages! Now it's on TV no one will ever believe I said it first.

No, but I will.

I saw a bit of it the other day, quite funny but I thought Armando Iannuci is probably better sticking to writing than presenting. I liked the bit about SARS though.
