FAO: White, middle class, self-hating, PC, bubble-dwelling liberal intelligentsia...

Stewart Lee's new show airs on the tax-payer funded, biased, metrosexual BBC (Two) this Saturday (28th) at 11:45pm CEST. (10:45pm for the racist English). Alan Moore-as in, Watchmen graphic novels author, Alan Moore-serving at the interviewer/interrogator.

My (Virgin) planner says it’s his live tour show (content provider) on at that time. Is it wrong, or have I misunderstood the OP? I was expecting a new series of comedy vehicle, what with the mention of the interviewer / interrogator.

I believe it's a standalone airing of his most recent stand-up routine spliced with comedy vehicle-style interrogation for the TV broadcast.

edit-I could be wrong, though. But I think I'm right. I dunno. I'm a Stewart Lee fan, after all, so I'm nowhere near as smart as I think I am.

Too many air miles involved in Prime. I support a local business that makes wooden knitting needles from small branches that have fallen (naturally) off trees in the local woods.

No mention of multi-culturalism yet?

You're watching him all wrong if you think he's a laugh an hour, random. You aren't supposed to laugh and he isn't supposed to be funny.

We're having a communal viewing of this after book club. Ginny is bringing her special kale quinoa, Solomon is preparing a fantastic vegan quiche, and our friends from the workers co-op have all been tending to a stonking batch of kombucha.

Jono from the micro-brewery is bringing a crate of his latest quadruple-hopped IPA, and we're putting together a collection of haikus to benefit the displaced peoples shelter round the corner, which Kier will be producing on his home-made printing press. That's once he's finished the latest run of the anarcho afro-funk fanzine he edits.

Looking forward to it.

No reservation needed at your local vegetarian restaurant this Saturday.

It is indeed a live recording of the last tour "content provider" filmed in Southend. Not sure if they've also recorded interview style segments ala Comedy Vehicle.

Regarding Comedy Vehicle, the 4 seasons are on Iplayer now. It wasn't recommissioned so they'll be no more.

Firstly, I am a cisgender white heterosexual male for which I apologise.

I will not be watching this programme, which promotes a white privileged masculine narrative as the norm to the general public. It is time more underrepresented members of society are allowed to appear on TV programmes.

When will the hated main stream media allow a trans-species presenter on our screens, what are they afraid of? There are many such people who could do an equal or better job compared with their cis-species counterparts. For example former Never Mind the Buzzcocks presenter Mark Lamarr, who now self- identifies as a Harbour Porpoise. Since Mark made the brave decision to transition to sea based mammal he has not been seen on our screens, a coincidence, I think not.

I shall take the time to write an article on this subject for the Guardian website, while this so call TV programme is taking place on Saturday night. Hopefully, licence fee payer’s money will not be wasted in the future on such discriminatory programming.

In the future I would like to see the BBC spend their programme budget on such inclusive and thought provoking material as a TV adaption of the Onyeka Nubia novel, Where is my Ethically Sourced Avocado? A tale about a group of migrants who are dealing with Post Traumatic Distress Disorder after reading the Mail On-Line and find solace by opening the first ever Waitrose in the Sangatte Refugee Camp.

That's what happens when you're deprived of club football; pathological introspection. Happens same time every year. It's also why people who don't like football are really weird.
