Growing Up With Vince & Jeremy

Jeremy looks back with fondness at the alternative comedy sketch show "Not The 9 O' Clock News", which ran on BBC2 from 1979 to 1982, much to the horror of hedgehogs. With funny songs, biting political satire, and Rowan Atkinson walking into a lamppost, NTNON became the biggest comedy group since Monty Python. And on top of all that, there was Pamela Stephenson to raise more than laughs.

in 1987, Madonna had a UK Number 1 hit with "Who's That Girl?". We argue this was a bad thing. We are not champions of "Who's That Girl?", and indeed we actively seek its destruction.

Vince strokes his beard and examines the cultural fad for beard-stroking examinations of American Liberals dealing with American violence, best depicted in Charles Bronson vehicle "Death Wish" (1974) and its increasingly preposterous sequels. Will Vince grow a Bronson moustache, put on a black beanie hat and stalk the graffitied streets and badly-lit subways of crime-ridden New York City on a Nietzschean vigilante spree? Doubtful, as he's got a bad back.
