I dunno, Richard Hammond http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1209921/What-prompted-comedians-tirade-old-schoolmate-Richard-Hammond.html#comments.
Not a paper that is troubled by the duality of meaning.
Good news to hear there is new Comedy Vehicle series, shame though it is not to be able to write about what sort of dick wits are running the BBC these days if they didn't recommission it.

Excellent news! If not slightly surprising. My favourite comedy of last year.
Wonder if he'll get away with the Top Gear routine from the current show.
And well done to Dan S. for the petition.

I'm glad this news broke today. I was just about to buy tickets to see him live. I won't bother now.

Oh, Kevin, you really should. There's a lot of stuff in the show that probably won't make it onto telly.
The last series of Vehicle got pretty dull when he was repeating older material, which he did enough for me to notice.
The BBC should be spending the licence fee on something funny, not more 'Comedy' Vehicle series.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Obviously quite a few people do find this show funny. Misery guts.

Have you got Picture-in-picture?

Does anyone else get the feeling the sole reason for recommissioning the series was to annoy Aaron?

If that's the case, then maybe someone should mention to Channel Four his feelings about 'Spaced'.
