Press clippings
Sometimes Herring and Lee sound too much like clones of their generation - their opening jokes might have come from The Mary Whitehouse Experience - but there are undoubtedly some inspired sketches, like the recent skit on the University of Life, whose graduates have learnt how to write letters to the Daily Star saying that all criminals should be castrated.
