Indeed. Mostly articulate, but a couple of inconsistencies?
Thought Richard Osman got the interviewer bit spot on. Challenging without being Paxmaniacal.

excellent interviewer
threw some really difficult questions, and listened to the answers rather than saying 'yes or no Mr Boyle, a simple yes or no, say yes or no, its not like my questions could be in any way leading, its a simple yes or no, say yes or no you dweeb, even a baby can say yes or no, say yes or no, yes or no, yes or no, yes?, no?, I'm making you look like an idiot on TV...'

↑ Very much this
As much as I find his criticism of Brass Eye insightful in that, I can't think of anything Boyle himself has done which holds a candle to Morris's work. Tramadol Nights was by and large just 'shock' humour rather than wit.

but I think he was arguing that 'wit' is heavily establishment and middleclass
so to be witty, for him, would be a personal failure

I get that
I just know I'd rather watch Chris Morris's type of 'wit' than a joke about Katy Price's disabled child. Not because I find it outrageously offensive per say, more because I just don't find it as funny.
Maybe that makes me middle class and heavily establishment.
