Fuck, this show is brilliant. For fans of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, this exists in the same universe. It's a satirical chat show hosted by Richard Ayoade's self-obsessed and semi-misogynistic businessman character Dean Learner and featuring several guests (all played by Ayoade's writing partner and show co-creator Matthew Holness; Marenghi is the first guest). Not too wacky or absurd, just straight up smart, quick and hilarious.

I fully expect less than 5 people to care about this.

That's my worry every time I start a thread or consider it, haha

But yes, this is good. It's actually how I found Garth Marenghi. I went backwards from The IT Crowd, to this because it was Moss, then that.

Never heard of this, but I love Garth Marenghi and Richard Ayoade, so I'm definitely gonna give this a watch tonight.

'Now Steve, what did your brother do?'
'What didn't he do?'
'Well, let's start with what he did do, because we really had a slow first half.'

Loved Dark Place, so I'll check this out later.
