Repeated tonight on BBC2 at 11.20 and hopefully on iPlayer after that.
(It's also got a great interview with the designer Dieter Rams).
Sounds good. Cheers!

The segment starts at 51 minutes.
Is Josie Long in it much? Because if she is, I won't bother watching.
Cheers Griff, will check it out.
They used a teeny tiny clippette from one of my sketches! I whack someone into a hedge.
Great interviews. Really interesting to hear people's views on on-line comedy.
I'll have to check out that Popcorn thingy that they mentioned.
I'll definitely have a look for this, sounds interesting.
Cheers.

It really is so quick. The stuff about the Popcorn night got my attention. I shall investigate and let you know what I find out!
I believe Robert Popper is regularly involved with that Popcorn night in some way, it gets mentioned on his and Peter Serafinowicz's Twitter pages fairly often.
I think there's a thread about Popcorn already, albeit in the Other British Comedy section, rather than opportunities. Though I suppose it's not really a "writing" opportunity.
Watched that yesteday. Good stuff. That Poporn thingy looks interesting. 
Popcorn is a wicked night. Great sketches screened live, with a small dollop of stand up is a winning mixture. Also great opportunity if you're making your own video content to see what works.
