Robert Webb - RHLSTP

[@DanielSwindlehurst]

By chance, I just opened up Audible after watching this, and saw Robert's book is now out in audiobook form. It's read by Olivia Coleman too, which is pretty awesome and feels appropriate. PS. I don't work for Audible, Robert, or Rich, just thought I'd point this out. PPS. I am willing to work for either Audible, Robert, or Rich, as long as it's reasonably well paid and doesn't involve me doing too much.

[@heidihinter4961]

I didn't know this! I'm buying it now!

[@LCTRgames]

I think your terms of employment seem very reasonable and I wish you well with the endeavour.

[@themadplotter]

I can't be fucking arsed with Olivia Coleman, because she acted so well in peep show, I think that's her.

Peep Show was one of the best comedies ever

Butterflies was a childhood favourite ( looking at the broadcast dates what a crazy and rebellious teenager I was watching sitcoms about bored housewives...) but I only realised very recently that the theme music is a cover of a Dolly Parton song. Everyone else knew I bet. Wendy Craig ( star of Butterflies , keep up...) on RHLSTP would be great; she got her CBE this year at 85 and said she intended to keep working. Had a lot of roles in comedies, she’d fit right in.

Very excited to watch this ‘Come Again’ is my new favourite book

Very glad Mr. Webb pulled through his health scare!

The final 5 minutes of this podcast really is as about as deep as this show has ever got.

Shagging good episode!

[@zetetick395]

Just rewatched the 2002 comedy series' _The Smoking Room_ - it was *much* better than I have memory of it being, great comedy 👍

I’m 36 and was diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum 3 years ago, one of the things that started the whole process was a conversation about how I can’t visualise things

I heard that the titular character in The Witcher was based on Richard Herring.

Lol They have to keep the OG theme music though, will not watch without that! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGXNXn2vl5qpg6M

[@20thCenturyPox]

Anyone who's seen Crocodile Dundee knows that the crocodile would drag you down to the bottom and trap you under a rock to tenderise, so it's Lose-Lose. Although it does now occur to me that the lava would mean there would likely be no rocks to be tenderised under, so the joke's on the crocodile after all.

[@philipellis7039]

20thCenturyPox I’m fairly sure the fumes and the heat kill before the lava even gets to you. So, if you think you have better lung capacity and heat resistance than a crocodile might be worth the gamble.

[@AnonYmous-rw6un]

Funny comment about grandad dying: in my first year at uni, my dad called the uni to ask them to tell me my grandad had died (I knew he had stage 4 cancer) and they refused and gave me a message to call home.

[@trevorfeelgood]

He was brilliant on bgt with his piano

TBH I didn't know Robert Webb although the name was vaguely familiar - probably from the Mitchell & Webb thingy (something else I haven't seen, only seen references to it) - but he seems a funny bloke and I do like RKH so... Anyway the comments about "the book" and the storyline really intrigued so I bought the ebook and am looking forward to reading it.

[@cliffrichard5086]

You should watch Peep Show, it is genius.

[@pillsandthrills.399]

You really need to work on your anecdotes, Dave.

[@happywednesday6741]

How was it Dave?

[@nedshakespear3904]

Has the music for the into been copyright striked? I just watched and it was silent during the intro animation bit.

[@VonBlade]

100% on plotted in advance, because you instantly know that this guy who suddenly appears at a point when we need a new character is going to be character archetype 4, sub type 2. Of course Rich would remember Readers Wives as his weapon of choice was Fiesta. Didn't Doc Cox write a song about it?

[@rachaelbullmore48]

Hi Richard, There is a benefit to not being able to visualise things: When Robert describe his heart surgery I had a horrible gory image in my head and I could "feel" the saw. It made me very queasy. Great conversation :-)

[@symmetrie_bruch]

yeah i imagine it has a lot of upsides just for panic attacks and anxiety in general i imagine there´s also the other side of the spectrum where you can´t help but visualise things

[@MostCommentsAreFake-ud8by]

Buying porn mags used to be a nerve wracking task. I used to have a very posh lockable briefcase. Guess what was in it. Porn mags were rented out at our school.

Really like Robert Webb, except for his weird anti-trans stance, that part is just super offputting, sadly.

[@pipster1891]

Celebrities/comedians. Always thinking everyone wants to hear from them outside their jobs. Stop interviewing each other and putting it on youtube. Go and do some DIY or help your wives do something.

[@Herring1967]

Good point. Apart from the tens of thousands of people watching and listening to each episode.
