Stewart Lee’s got a new series starting soon – Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle, which begins March 16th on BBC2 at 10pm. You can read an interview with him about it (and other things) over at The Scotsman.
In the meantime, here’s a little documentary (in two parts) called Don’t Get Me Started in which he discusses blasphemy and its place in comedy with various religious types – and Alan Moore, who’s religious in a completely different way. It’s not that funny, but it’s interesting.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
