I wouldn't replace him. I'd just remove him.
From the whole of existence, if I could.

You would lose Superhans as well
And be left with half an hour of David Mitchell complaining in each episode.

Frankly I would prefer that.
He's brilliant when he goes off on a massive rant, and Robert Webb is a proper fucking prick.

Without Webb's character eating his food and generally fucking up his life
He would have nothing to complain about, so it would turn into half an hour of existential angst about living alone in a reasonably nice flat.

I never really liked Peep Show in the first place, so I'd be fine with that.

So what you're saying
Is that ideally gonzo should download a hypothetical show featuring David Mitchell moaning about living alone in a flat in London to tide him over while he's living alone in a flat in London?

Good lord. Yes. Yes I am.

I don't think that would be very helpful at all really.

( Lord Gnome, Tue 27 Dec 2011, 22:23, archived)

Were we supposed to be being helpful?
Shit.

Put that in next week's newsletter as things we want to see
Someone could edit out the Robert Webb bits a bit like those Garfield cartoons with Garfield removed: garfieldminusgarfield.net/

That's not what I was getting at
But it's an interesting idea. Good parallel btw.

he was rubbish doing that on michael mcintyre comedy roadshow the other day, and the live channel 4 thing
it was like he was sat just reading from his blog

Superhans is great.
I mean, he's not very good most of the time but every now and again they give him a fucking corker of a line that more than justifies his presence the rest of the time.

You know I'm physically incapable of letting someone enjoy something.

You might want to change "physically" to "emotionally" or "mentally"
Might give the wrong impression otherwise.

d) all of the above.

I think Superhans
Is basically what Jeremy would like to be, but instead he's a spoiled brat.
( Lord Gnome, Tue 27 Dec 2011, 22:25, archived)

I thought that was the point?
The one where Super Hans lets Jeremy join another band with him but then abandons him was great. Especially seeing as Jeremy didn't get the message.
