Captivating guest aside, I am loving this podcast. Rob is so effortlessly funny and warm and I'm so glad he puts these out.

[@danieladams9950]

Matt an unassuming colossus of UK entertainment. Loved praise of Barrymore.

[@RosieHarp]

'Dust anybody?' 😆 I still love 'Little Britain'. It was unique, shocking and hilarious.

[@SandraDeefan]

Ting Tong 😀😀😀

[@RosieHarp]

@@SandraDeefan 'Hi Martin, it's Linda' 😆😆

[@carladean6117]

Call me Bubbles darling, everybody does.

[@mariamerigold]

Anybody? No? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust.

[@CinSpain]

I think, I could listen to Matt talk for hours... ❤

[@JolynBowler]

💙🌻💙 Thanx gentlemen. Loverly conversation.

[@lunapachamama915]

Miranda! Brilliant timing with her comic asides. Dear Matt, how could you ever be scary? Disconcerting, maybe….😉. How amazing to have met all those musical heroes. Great episode, thanks Rob ✨

[@jennyroberts2347]

Definitely buying the book for my daughter for Xmas. Sounds like a great read and sing-along.❤

[@interfusor]

Wow I'm so glad he mentioned Kröd Mandoon, not a great show but Matt Lucas an Alex Macqueen together were AWESOME.

[@CornwallGhosts]

Brilliant. Loved it.

[@Msmith123-r9f]

Mike Barrymore next. Matt looks the best hes been. No chubby cheeks. His confidence is great with his sence of humour always. I was in intensive care asleep on Christmas eve to February so the book means alot to me. thanks.

[@ianshepherd2861]

To answer Matt's question, I would say the master of the aside is Bradley Walsh.

[@FrazzledDoo]

i thought Mr. Lucas as The Villain to be Very memorable and really liked it.

[@nefwaenre]

i couldn't even recognize the man. Oh Matt, i loved him from his LB days! We still used to have BBC Entertainment back then. 😭

[@annala2956]

Matt: "I've met some of my heroes..." Rob: "Thank you" 😂 Mike Batt! I grew up watching "Watership Down". I love Paul Williams too.

[@honeydropswardrobe]

Blankety blanket current presenter Bradley Walsh does the side looking into the camera

[@paulfox1210]

Wd luv to gave heard more about Matt's time on progs such as the brilliant 'Catterick' instead of all the famous people they both know & have splendid times with...

[@davidheard8015]

Phoebe Waller-Bridge does the comic aside in Fleabag all the time.

[@RosieHarp]

I'm not sure Matt Lucas would be scary as a real villain but he was very sinister as George Dawes ..... and funny obviously

[@seakoko]

Gervais and Freeman's comic asides in 'The Office' bridged the gap between Barrymore and reaction videos.

[@jamesthecat]

On TV & film, there was always what used to be called 'reaction shots', not always 'to camera', but close-ups, eg in a Carry On film, of Kenneth Connor's repressed little face crying "cooorrrrgh!"

[@seakoko]

@@jamesthecat The Comic Asides Council (CAC) guidelines are clear: "1.2 To camera 1.3. Directed at the viewing audience".

[@Benyboy2727]

A wonderful day for your hair Brydon,first class.

[@brodogoks2526]

Hairpiece has settled in

[@FrazzledDoo]

..just noticed..Ai hair?

[@liamneeson7926]

Matt Lucas has really reached the peak of his career being in big blockbuster movies and tv shows such as Doctor Who, Wonka and Gladiator 2

[@WilliamLucas-hy8mx]

And Rob Brydon be looking pretty in a pink shirt

[@electrolinks]

He's very talented.

[@hemare100]

Thank you for this. :) Masters of the aside, for me, are Miranda Hart and Bradley Walsh.

[@katg7965]

I thought the same

[@LUFC123]

What are the scores George Dawes ?

[@SeanieVoiceOver]

Barrymore is now a TikTok legend, bless him

[@danmayberry1185]

Pea-NUTS !!

[@IndaloMan]

Back in Covid-19 times when Rob podded from home the set didn't matter. This set with Matt is ridiculous, when you show the wide angle of both of you there is space for 4 people on the couch in the middle. #fail

[@ahdkaw]

No such thing as too much Partridge :)

I remember seeing Michael Barrymore with his comedy act which involved impressions of Basil Fawlty at a nightclub in Stoke back in 1979. His humour didn't really suit the drunken Saturday night crowd but worked well watered down on tv as family entertainment. Saw Norman Pace on the stage at the Hammersmith Lyric in a revue of Jules Feiffer's cartoons where he played a variety of mid western characters. Ed Bishop was also in the show. Please do not buy Matt's book at the cheaper price as that mean's Amazon or a chain unless you are really skint. Please try to buy it from a local independent shop who needs your business more. ps I don't own a book shop.
