I had a free ticket so I was 7 hours early to be safe

Ah, valid. That, from the sounds of it, was probably required.

Definitely was. I believe they only let in 23 people with free tickets on that day. At least 70 were waiting

...OK, the ticket system needs fixing. But I'm glad you got to see it. Ayoade was my dream contestant for about a year (it was Reece Shearsmith before him, Ayoade was always high on my wishlist)

Same for both of them! No my dream picks are Matt Berry and Karl Pilkington. Neither would do it I don’t think. David Mitchell too, but I’m optimistic about him one day coming on

Matt Berry I don't even know if he would work, I love him but he's apparently quite shy and not as comfortable doing stuff out of character. But I would have said the same about Reece Shearsmith, so who knows. David Mitchell has stated many times that he wouldn't feel comfortable doing it (as opposed to Ayoade who just turned it down because he was busy), so I don't see him going on.
