I love Brooker he's funny as fuck. Especially when he wrote for the Guardian.

he's brilliant, not many people know that he was the creator of Dead Set http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Set_(TV_series)

That was great. I have to put a lot of focus into understanding the Scottish. >_<

A neat little bonus for me: When they show the credits of that old show at the end, it says the music was done by Rick Wakeman, who was the keyboardist from Yes.

Oh yeah Rick Wakeman, i didn't notice that. Are you a big Yes fan?

Those are really thick Scottish accents, i bet you were sitting there thinking WTF was that word just then?

Definitely. I love old progressive rock/jazz and Chris Squire was one of my main influences when I played bass years ago.
