New found respect for...

...Rory Bremner. Why? Well i've never found him that funny, the other two guys John Bird and John Fortune were always the funniest part of his show. You could describe him as satire lite. So why do i have a new found respect for him? Well he seemingly agrees 100%. While possibly just a bit of false modesty in the interview i just read with him, he's got a new column in New Statesmen, he is possibly effusive in his self criticism as well as praise for his colleagues.

So fair play to the fellow for having a decent sense of perspective about what he does. He's not entirely my cup of tea but he far from the worst thing on the television. And maybe his new column will be better than his TV show.
