Nah is it tonight, God thats depressing, only 5 minutes left to come up with the worlds funniest joke.
The ASDA of satire.
"Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you." Which is exactly what happened to Winston Smith. His rebellion was not one that was foolish and too outspoken. He silently tried to defeat the Party for his personal happiness, and in the end it cost him everything he had fought for, and his love for Julia. He had learned to love Big Brother, which was his ultimate fear when trying to live a life of individuality. The Party had defeated him.
1984

Just curious about the recording. It's seems tough for performers and audience to go straight into a show like that cold.

Did anyone go? Did anyone get an email saying they got a sketch in?
Some people may call me a genius - I haven't met any though.

Ouch that's another no for me.
Reckon I'll become a suicide bomber, just so I can get my martyrs video on BBC.

Yeah, I thought that was the best one so far and I was lucky enough to get something on.
Much edgier and a good pace. There was also 'additional material' from 21 writers so they certainly open the net.

Agreed about it being the best yet. Still reminds me too much of other shows, though. Needs to work on it's own identity more.
