Also, according to Broadcast, "Rudy's Rare Records" is to be adapted for TV.

Is this definitely happening? If it is, my sitcom's f**ked.

I don't think it has been confirmed yet, at least according to the BCG

I wonder if I could find out when the commissioning pitch was taking place, by phoning the BBC?

And then what are you gonna do? Storm into the meeting and open up a can of whoop ass?

No, I'm really just wondering how soon I can be put out of my misery. I don't want to have to wait for the show to appear on T.V. to find out whether or not it's actually been made.

Tweet Dan Tetsell. He's one of the RRR writers so he might mention whether it gets commissioned on his Twitter feed.

Good to have I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue back. Jack Dee's settled in extremely well. And the sausages round was very funny.

Clare in The Community was truly LOL good this week.

Heresy was pretty decent last night. Rufus Hound has grown on me a lot over the last twelve months and Clive Anderson is always good value. Funny, but he actually argues his points as if he's on The Moral Maze. Coren's still the weak link, though. You need a cxomedian in the chair.

You can get a special cream for that.

I've come to respect and enjoy Hound a lot, his sheer ability to perform is exhilarating.

I was confused by Hound at first, because he seemed to come out of nowhere to present Top of the Pops. I thought he was one of those stand-ups who do comedy for 5 minutes and then become TV presenters on the back of it. But yes, he has been pretty funny on a variety of shows.

The thing I enjoyed most about the latest edition of Heresy was that a member of the audience came up with an argument that Coren couldn't argue against. And it was on a subject that I held the majority view of, so good on him.

Interesting news about tomorrow's edition of The Now Show: it is most guests. Neither Hugh Dennis, Mitch Benn, Marcus Brigstocke or Jon Holmes are on. Instead it will feature Andy Zaltzman, Isy Suttie, John Finnemore and Toby Longworth.

The guy who said pirating stuff off the internet wasn't theft because the stuff was still there? Yes, an interesting point that did seem to flummox Coren. Not sure piracy is as simple as that, but it was an interesting point that should have been discussed more fully.

It certainly makes it different to stealing sweets. But it's still worth discussing the matter of copyright, and why it's worth having.
