Some brilliant quotes in there.
"Peter Baynham (writer): I remember being asked to come up with names for racehorses for Alan Partridge when he’s doing commentary, and just coming up with demented things like: Trust Me I’m A Stomach. I was very happy and asking, ‘Is this actually a job?’ I was wildly excited to be able to have a job thinking up crazy shit. "

David Schneider's
"Pissing yourself laughing doesn't happen as much when you get older" is true, but I'd never really thought about it before now. SAD!
