Press
Then, in the comedy buffer zone, came The Blagger's Guide, half an hour of comedian David Quantick, a sort of mock-lecture on various musical genres (last weekend: prog rock, from Pink Floyd to Kate Bush), with just too much solemn expertise showing through for the mockery quite to work. In other words, it was an anorak pretending to be a torn T-shirt.
