[@arcanics1971]

This was a good interview, Mark. You let him go with it, only prompting when it was appropriate. That's nice to see, mate.

[@Carolinetruerecords]

Great stuff! Glad to have played a small part in the story 😊

[@toms4552]

the metaphysical concept of time has let himself go

[@andyr0ck]

Obligatory: Captain Birdseye's let himself go. Good interview, dude.👌

[@isaacdunne991]

Top class interview! Love it when the interviewer isn't an egocentric a hole and feels the need to but in with their every thought. A really natural flowing superb conversation. You've earnt my subscription!

[@GingerBeardMark]

Thanks for the kind words! I’ve still got loads to learn, but I know what annoys me in interviews and try my best to avoid it.

[@dirtsurfer5765]

Great interview, really looking forward to this. I'm from Wolverhampton and I think I went to a Nightingales gig back in the dark ages (80's). I love Stewart Lee and have seen him live many times. I have to say the unusual colouring of his beard makes him look a little like that infamous German guy from yonks ago (30's - 40's). I forget his name.

[@hufclufc]

I saw both the Nightingales and the Fall in the early 80s and had the Ted Chipington live cassette in 1985. I feel blessed that I shared some of his passions, even though I never became a celebrated stand-up comedian.

[@diveinnjim]

Captain haddock has let himself go, but he comes across well in this interview now he's sober,

[@JonWallis123]

Used to drink in The Great Western, in Wolverhampton, regularly in the 90s - terrific pub. Many a quick lunchtime drink ended up becoming a long afternoon session.

[@roister_doister]

Brilliant interview! You've got a real talent for this job Mark...👍

[@GingerBeardMark]

That’s really kind. Thank you. Really proud of this one.

[@stephenparker4735]

Great interview. I put a Nightingales gig on in Falmouth a few years ago and Robert certainly mis-judged his 'intake of rocket fuel' that night. Ted was supporting and was matching Rob all the way.

[@benjaminthomasholton963]

Thanks for this,excellent interview.

[@GingerBeardMark]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@davidrobinson2776]

I was hoping he would mention something about his war crimes though.

[@Jaws19show]

Fantastic interview, mate. Really loved this conversation. Looking forward to seeing the film

[@GingerBeardMark]

Thanks mate. Very kind!

[@sabaidaniel555]

Just stumbled across this - glad I did. Since a roundabout in Wolves was mentioned, I remember as a student in the town (now a city?) between '92 and '97 there was a man who seemed to live in a tent on a roundabout and who was always dressed as a cowboy. Anyone else remember that or was I drinking way too much and imagining things?

[@ashm2467]

Lovely stuff.

Stewart Lee is looking fresh !

[@MrHEC381991]

Looking forward to it!

[@neilroberts1731]

The place in Wolves with a list of bands and a 'scan and listen-to' is Lichfield st. ( first set of automated traffic lights BTW' and the awning around the (soon to be proppa-gain) Civic Hall has many a memorable band image, so NICE-ONE Stewart Lee ! X

[@GingerBeardMark]

I know where it is now. I did already, but the way Stew described it I thought a full blown monument had passed me by.

[@bioux101]

That King Kong statue was like an urban myth by the eighties. Don't think I'ver even seen a picture of it until now. How funny.

[@NeilTaylor1]

Great interview. If only Sky Arts was available in Hong Kong.

[@GingerBeardMark]

Thank you! I’ve heard rumour, a blu-ray/dvd is coming later in the year.

Wow. Where else do you get such a good 👍vs👎 ratio? I expect most of the people who find this video are probably lovely people with a good sense of humour and a good attitude toward life in general. Bless ya. And if you don't want to be blessed, make this sign 🙅‍♀️ while going up the aisle

The dark part of Stew's beard is a near-perfect Hitler moustache.

[@Boylieboyle]

Genius.

[@somethingsomething2119]

I noticed this in another interview and I'm so glad someone else said it tbh x

[@MightyJonE]

I was hoping Stewart Lee would mention the rappers...You know, the rappers...you’ve seen them...the rappers, you’ve seen them on the Top Of The Pops...the rappers...you’ve seen them...

[@arcanics1971]

I believe you mean rap singers.

[@MightyJonE]

Yeah, the rap singers, the rappers...you’ve seen them, on the Top Of The Tops...the rap singers, the rappers, you’ve seen them, in the adverts and on the Top Of The Pops, and in the shopping centre...down by the Corn Exchange...you’ve seen them, the rappers, the rap singers...

It's such a shame that no matter what the video, and what philosophical insights Stewart has on them, there will only ever be comments about how he's let himself go... He has though hasn't he.

[@richardcranmer7005]

About the midlands not having a distinctive music scene. Two Tone was pretty prominent and and actually still is in Latin America I think.

[@gazriley624]

Stew was right about Birmingham it's a big city but you never hear anything about it i always hear about music scenes in Liverpool and Leeds cos they are very good at promoting themselves

I tried to post a comment about the Morecambe and Wise statue that is mentioned briefly in the interview but it has been censored (perhaps because I included a hyperlink to the morecambeandwise (dot) com website that discusses two guys trying to track it down in Hungerford back in 2007).

[@GingerBeardMark]

Yeah. I was getting a lot of spammy links, so I stopped people posting URLs. Thanks for the info on the statue.

Stewart Lee and his critical, negative views on Sky conflict with this project being on ... SkyArts. Or is it more meta than I can fathom?

[@sphinxtheeminx]

@crabhat1 Unfortunately, Stew's clearly and passionately stated he would lose credibility in its broad sense and not be able to deny a charge of hypocrisy (see his bit on the Content Provider tour) if he worked with Sky. Your 'simple practicality' - if it's how he's thinking of it - would be the end of his unique place in popular culture. People in glass houses and all that.

[@sphinxtheeminx]

@crabhat1 If that's what you choose to think then good for you and your take on moral relativism. I expect both Stewart Lees just wanted to earn enough dough to put an Amdega on that house they're always telling us they've got a mortgage for. I expect pretend Stewart Lee signed the Sky contract when real Stewart Lee was busy looking at the catalogue. Not that it's any of my business.
