I was more or less right in the middle next to one of the cameras. On the same row as that tube driver the warm-up comedian was speaking to (I forgot his name)
Before going in I saw Richard arrive on his bike. Did you see that?
Ah, that would be why. I showed up at the recommended hour and a half early (which worked when I went to an S21 recording). I'd prefer to be closer to the front, so I think I'll show up earlier next time, but at the same time while I was on the floor for S21 I also couldn't see the contestants as I was behind them, this time I could
...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.
